Focus is blurring
Stillness is looming
No-one is speaking
Nothing is moving

Heavy heart
Friction burns …

Vision in exile
Intermittent route
Stark realisation
Creeping recluse

Heavy heart
Friction burns …

Lucid horizons
Eye on the cost
Sky of insurgence
Held back and lost

Thoughts misdirected
Will under test
Growing inertia
Actions repressed

Heavy heart
Friction burns …

Melting time
Fading hope …
