Collapse - Counterparts

Back pedalling into the black but I can still make out the figures that will threaten my well being
The wind will rise and fall but never sway from side to side
Progression halted encapsulating the fluid weave of death like a garden that contains all of it's arrested offspring
We're afraid to force our legs to break free from the earth and take the first step towards our insecurity
Sleep away your selfishness
Slip into collapse a still like
State of disregard from which you can't fall back
You never fully moved me I've been embedded in the dust and my mind has been ravaged by war
Pray for farewell as if I was yours to lose
I would love to love you if you were someone else
So forgive me for being unresponsive
I'm sure it's hard to train your ears to hear me crying out for help with my lips sewn shut by stitches of my own indecision
So I'll speak in whispers to permit my throat relief
I bite my tongue fill my mouth with blood and swallow enough to kill me before I'm forced to lose more sleep
I would love to love you if you were someone else
Am I fit to walk alone again or will you save me from myself
Breathe life into me be all that I can see or carry on without me and just know I wished you well
