Roll

I roll out of darkness
Bumping into corners and caverns
Searching for the light
Which was always you
Nothing to illuminate my path
Through these days
I must face without your touch.
I roll through the daily routine
Part zombie, part robot
No heart beating inside my chest
To indicate that I am alive
Just motions, a life on repeat
I wish that I could rewind
To the day I lost you
So that I could stop fate
And hold you near.
I roll down this embankment
At incredible speed
Smashing through brush and debris
I can see the end before me
A morbid crash scene waiting
At the bottom of this mountain of life
That I roll down without you
Chasing a memory
Of a love that will never be caught.
