[radiant___decay]

take a little piece of me
wrap it up and pack it away

bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper
save me for another day

miles and miles and miles and miles
over roads and over hills

let my memory feed and sustain you
without the need for useless frills

something beckons you to leave me
what it is you can't ignore

faceless nameless shadows pushing
making you into something more

I can't be your safe haven
no longer your ball and chain

no more eager breathless waiting
no more childlike refrain

turn your face the way you're heading
and see the darkness and the light

don't you dare turn back in terror
don't you fucking give up the fight

I can see the goodness in you
and I can see there's so much more

potential is just that: a sapling
life unbridled but still a chore

so please see the things I witness
and take the steps to realize

this dream, ambrosia I partake in
and all I see with loving eyes.
