The Falling Forever

by Patrick O'Leary

 

Part I "The Falling Forever"

Every waking moment I spend
Only thinking of what I can do
To suppress my weary eyes from being awake too long
Realizing I'm falling from Your love
The falling forever, may it embrace me as I stay
My stay won't be much longer, I'm growing old and tired
I can also see your face drenched with hatred
Let no one pervade your darkened mind
Every raindrop is a thought of hope, hoping to fall in your cold 
soul...
The falling forever invades me, I fight it
I'm only thinking of you, the only way I can loosen the choke....
I pray for my last breath to be praising Your last name
Before I go, let me see your glory, make this life worth its ride
My thoughts strike me as sharp as a pale cold stone slicing through my
walls
And I know You put them there
My cry everlasting from the falling forever
Embrace me, take this torn old skin away
Wrap me within Your reassured love
For I know it'll last for eternity, let me stare into this angry sunset
with
high hopes
Just before Your word pervades me whole body....
So long falling forever, may the last laugh echo forever in hollowness
of the
being
Man....

 

Part II "An Undying Love"

Did You feel my last dying breath?

Did You feel my arms outstretched?

Could You touch my cold impaled hands?

My everlasting, stretched to thin amongst this sand

I have a world to wait for You

If only my friend, that you too, knew

Falling further into infinity

I think I'm falling the wrong way

Only the failed circuitry

Has seemed to wearily say

This undying love grows dimmer with every step

The shadow we cast upon the ground after a modest rain

With every message, and every word you kept

Please, just why couldn't you just stay sane?

I'll feel my way across the falling forever

Like I once did

Could I still love You through all this?

Even though I've been set on fire

Couldn't you just see through all of this?

The falling forever has caught my glimpse of ire

I still remember that echo softly saying

"I've been wanting to remind you, of your perfect left you've left behind.  Why oh why, couldn't you just stay with me? Die with me? Mourn with me? Come back to what used to be..."

I've been through all of this before

It all seems to be so daring

Isn't this all what I've asked for?

This angry sunset has set

I feel so sore

I'm only willing to bet

My love for You

Mark my last dying breath

I'll always love You

My falling forever

 

 

Part III "My Everlasting Death"

I was striving for an undying title

Time even has trouble to settle

My time has passed

Is this the final test?

The flowers are wilting

I can feel the silt

My body lies beyond the waste of time through unknown formality

An everlasting death can show it's true confidentiality

Skin is torn

Blood is shed

Anew be born

This body needs tending

It's too old to notice these older wounds

Ever since I came from the womb

I can still remember the warmth of the stove

I've been embalmed in fate less love

A shapeless form of lead

It was my life instead

That this fate has encountered

My time has been recounted

Blood doth been spilled upon the fated night

A naked sight to see a full moon upon the slight

Filled with a crimson sunset

My time has been set

For I'll endure my falling forever for an eternity

 

 

Part IV "The Aftermath"

Lay the whispers down

In this weary town

They all mourn for a hero

Though the weather has dropped to zero

The warmth from the stove still haunts

No longer in this vicinity of uncanny thought

My stature is gone, now I am done

O bitter child

Dry those crying eyes

Inject these children with dye

So when they might die

Their blood wouldn't look so worthy as mine

This isn't the pain I sought after to see

I have taken too much time

All that you can do is weep

My bitter winter

Bleak black and gray photographs stain my memory

I'm the one and only

In your eyes

Your bitter winter has dried from it's feared red stained on the trees

Could you just let me go?

 

 

Part V "The Streetlight Plague"

I've been forgotten

I have been forgiven

A sign of burned consciences

A breakthrough on commercial science

Has left me in silence

Streetlights flood the warm touch of the moon

Someday we'll all be there soon

Your love has set me free

The love You show reflects off the glass in the trees

I have been forgotten

I have been forgiven

The road is still warm from the heat from the streetlights

An omniscient sunset plagues Main Street

Just before it starts to sleet

My town has accepted my coming

They have accepted my departing

Hollow sirens still bourn the night

None of these are of joyful sights

No matter what, my falling forever will never cease

It'll never increase

The streetlights still light the pavement

In which bourn my blood

 

 

Part VI "Finale - Scenes From A Memory"

Excuse me

Would someone notice me?

I have been remembered on that dreadful day

All these people can say

"An everlasting dreamboat

Has sailed across through time

When I used to gloat

Through all of my shame"

My ever after has gone for a tomorrow

Brightened days have returned shown for sorrow

The streetlights still fell warm from the night

Though they are losing sight to the light

 

A dying love was never a love

But an undying love, always loves

 

Before the falling forever lifts me away

Do not lead astray

There is much to say

But this isn't the only way

 

Before my falling forever

Comes here after

Modest rain

Will bring out my vain

Once again

Forever we will love

 

When I sing

They might not remember my song

They'll have no choice

But to hear and ponder, "My, what a voice I've heard before"

 

The warmth of the oven

The shaft of stricken cold steel

In the middle of a stale night

Are scenes from a faded memory

 

Rest in peace

It's all this town could do at least
