20090509 Darwin, NT Walking alone

As I walk accross this city,
It dawns upon me
That the light that once shone
has died,
and the spark that once started it all,
is gone,
left to wither and die
in a heart surrounded by stone walls

10,000 miles I have travelled
to find that you walk alone.
That you need no one,
and that the promisse you made
will never be met.

The closer I get the further we are
Its not you its me
I was forewarned and paid no heed.

There is no wind in Darwin today
and the kites will not fly
Glass windows and ice cubes
Fortified and defended,
Lest there should be a tiny space to enter.
There is no wind today
and the kites will not fly
So I take a ride in solo, so low,
and I bow, take the blow
But all is fine,
and all is always good.
its a paradigm here
and you walk alone
for you don't need me
you don't want me

And I wonder, wandering thoughts
Where did it all go?
all the emotions and the love?
all the hopes and promisses...

It was yet again a game
one that I still fail to grasp
for at the end I am the one
left standing.

Carpe Diem, memento mori
But it all comes back to me.

for I am and remain
the pebble in the shoe

...
I wake up every morning
to a broken dream
and a broken staff
for I was wrong to believe
I was wrong all along

It was yet another truce
