Temporary Loss of Reason - Words Of Farewell

A longing deep inside like a smoldering fire

Only to be suffocated by circumstance and relation

Its smoke taking your sight, blinding your eyes

Slowly your anticipation of the future is leaving

It winters within you, nourishing on your pain and distress

Until one day it eats you up from the inside

Cast aside all useless trappings you wear

And wallow in this euphoria for a moment

For soon this sensation will cease

And rationality will regain control

Set again, the perception is sinking in

Free for but a moment, bound for a lifetime

A smile on your lips and the taste of blood on your tongue

Ever so slightly you give in

To the apprehension of consequence

Weary have you become, tired of these iron bars

Suddenly the flames are growing higher, swallowing the cinders

and burning up the surface, your very substance

Bursting out, your thoughts dwindle and instinct takes over

resulting in a temporary loss of reason

Adherent of devoid the defeat turns into a rancid emotion

To give birth to another impulse of rapture

Over the years and through the tears

These feelings will fester

Until the growing despair sends out sparks again
