The collapse

 You were my peace, my light 

My white dove

Now your a source of strife that

Has me questioning love


I tried to be bold 

I tried to be brave 

Now my heart is buried

The walls have caved 


I desperately claw 

Looking for that light 

But the air is thinning 

And Im losing this fight 


I was in control

This time I wouldn’t fail 

But yet again I’m  crushed 

As your ship sets sail 


They say time heals all

But with  space comes time 

And the smaller you become 

The less I’m fine 


You’ve dipped below the horizon

Like the sun in the west

And despite the ruin I’m in 

I want, for you, nothing but the best 


Ill find the light again 

As I crawl out of this hole 

The pressure from the collapse 

Will make a diamond of this coal 


And I’ll look to the east 

With the rise of the Sun

For a new ship with hope 

Will surely come
