From run, to walk, to strain.
From the confusing mists of shock to the rending burden of fault. And the cruel sun, burning, drawing a life, once so pure.
The tears of remorse, biting the tired flesh.
Hate climbs inside, it swells… all alone, with only one to hate.
From hate to weary toil. All alone.
A long road, to the very end. To nowhere. Eyes and mind unclear, soul heavy with hurt.
Too hard to lift anymore. Only one end now, one deserved.
Here, the end arrives.
One last sweet essence, untouched by blame, before he closed their fate:
Love, wonder, pride.
Whoa, heavy.
Okay folks. So I was moved to write again by TLK!
I wanted to at least contribute something to this lovely forum, and kind of affirm to myself at least my love for TLK. There is lots of inspiration to be had from therein.

Very deep
