A single point of darkness.

I swore you the moon I promised the stars Past the bleeding edge of time Where the first light is born And the shadows un-wind But promises... they fade Like lines in the dust Collapsing light Crushing down Into a single point of darkness An everlasting vow A spoken promise made The line is breaking now I am letting you go Oh, what an eternal word Eternity, they say... Is a long, long time You swore me the oceans You promised the peaks Far beyond the shifting turns of time And the glow of the tree of life But the colors... they bleed away Under a silver-plated moon A monochrome ghost of the past Etched into an empty frame Of what used to breathe What will never return Or ever cross our minds again An everlasting vow A spoken promise made The line is breaking now I am letting you go Oh, what an eternal word Eternity, they say... Is a long, long time What once was love is a hall of mirrors now Do we cut the cord, or do we feed the pain? Every word is a calculated weight Every touch, a minor sentence passed Because who we are And who we used to be That’s gone, swept out with the tide Promises demand a price to pay But darling... the debt is cleared tonight The line is breaking. An eternal word... Eternity... A long time. Fade into darkness. A single point of darkness.
