Time will go on ⁣I will slip through its cracks⁣Have premonitions to disobey⁣An eternity to disarray⁣A calling to naturally delay⁣⁣I will lie under the stars⁣You will move on⁣agape at my lack of mobility⁣aghast at my mood so bittersweet⁣A constant abeyance to reality⁣⁣We will disintegrate⁣Dismayed at our decay⁣Our immortalisation in words⁣are meant to fade away⁣We are [...]
