Surrender

The wind blows cold
Across the face of sorrow
Till numb feels like home
And the lost are without a trace
From the path that brings them back
To where hope was once reserved
For the gift of tomorrow

Always amorphous and out of reach
Still I chased the unattainable
As though our future were held inside a dream
And without a frame it crumbled
Before I could even see the end

I will not stare the sky a final time
Nor scream the inner cries of an ultimatum
For I know it's now, and now is never
As the cliff descends
And my tears fall to brace this isolation
Cradled in hollow memories 
As they carry me off
Face down, and over the edge...
I surrender
