Dying Youth

Deep under the surface
I keep the love
Older and aware of A hidden universe
I’ve prayed to be young
And prayed to be inspired
The words of your tongue
Blister like fire
I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me There is a glimpse
Of death in your eyes
I am not prepared
To let out those cries
I’ve prayed to stay young
But soon will be expired
So lost in denial
I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave
Dying days of my youth
Breach in her womb
Sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts, and burdens of life
I’ve prayed to stay young
But soon will be expired
An age of innocence, long since gone
I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me Those who are looking backwards
Chose to live as statues
Frozen, fractured, youthful laughter, fades
I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me I can’t let you go Slow down, don’t leave
Dying days of my youth
Overtake me
