Time, Distance, And Everything Beyond Reach

NkosiNaye bound by fate

That helium balloon
It’s obvious the beauty of it is letting go
Letting it go where you cannot know
Yet you chose the brightest balloon
Hoping someday someone lucky will find its glow
A stranger’s smile out of gloom will be worth the go
But can you let go
Would you let go

The inevitable as it gains more height
It slips out of your fingers before your sight
In between that loss, the overwhelming thought; to try to catch it or accept it’s destined to be let go
I don’t know
But I guess I'll let it go

What do I know
Time, distance, and everything beyond my reach
I’m just another fanatic reading the scroll
Jack Sparrow drunk with sorrow
My black pearl sailed into the hallows
Adventures I cannot follow

The death of me
Time, distance, and everything beyond my reach
I stretch till my back break
I scream till my lungs leak
I write till my ink links my blood to leak on blank sheets

The life of me
Is this peace lurking in my mind; I paid with truth every barter
Till lately… Lately, my past is Jada
Red table talks with times beyond radar
Feeling 4:44 on 4:44 for 4:44

I apologize
My silence gave more words than my words
I apologize
At my sane, I chose who jumped the ledge with me at my worse
I apologize
That time became the curse
I apologize
For this truth
I apologize
For time, distance, and everything beyond my reach
Sincerely,

I apologize.
