A Man Exits

Hopesfall

i escaped the horizon

feeling nothing was the easiest existence

leaving a world of regret in a wake of flames

no flame ever burned as bright

i will not leave a martyr

no more eyes to frame my falls

i can't live life for closed hearts

joy left me that day

pulled from my hands as the robbed me of life

i am leaving earth

burning the past as i turn and wave goodbye

i am finally alive
