Does all of humanity live within the sphere
Of a death close enough that it’s ever near
And we may get a hundred years or so
Or we might not, you just never know
And I walk within the fear
Just so it becomes clear
That the immortal in the form
Is that which was never born
And is out of reach
Of the end that they teach
Is the conclusion of life on earth
And it might hurt
To fall but get back up
I am holding you, love
And there’s nowhere a cloud can’t go
It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t share what I know
Coz I was fourteen and I writhe
The cumulation of being alive
Came crashing down
And I felt I would drown
In the ocean of it all
When suddenly the brick wall
Just fell to the floor
And I adore
What got back up
You could call it love
The living breathing apparition
Of what happens when fission
Pulls itself back together
And heals the wound
The room
Faded from view
But you
Never did
And it’s worth a couple quid
Just to say
That I am okay
Come what may
In the fray
Of the life we know
I held on then It let go
