Destinations

It’s just a temporary slide back in the abyss
I should have seen it coming from miles away
And’ve been armed in a thick coated structure
Shielding me from my own blazing dagger
There was purpose on the horizon
A destination
Tangible and fragrant
And i marched as i knew
And i marched as i knew
And i marched as i knew
And i marched with a thousand
It’s not surprising i should find myself flaying
Having crossed the bridge of certainty
Back behind enemy lines with no work ‘til tuesday
I didn’t even buckle the temptation
Got down with little to do and welcoming old habits like a long lost friend
To spite you
Egged on, by weakening days
Giving themself up to the strings of a menacing darkness
The shrinking hours of life are grey and feeble
The soggy tree inside driving at ease in defeat
The temperature falls
The big light switch on
And from time to time fireworks frighten the cats
