Inspired by Jennifer Niven’s “All The Bright Places” When will he learn How far is too much Never slowing down Too close to not touch. Wants it to end He’s ready to go He is too tired And time is too slow. He wants to live But he stopped trying So the choice he makes Will leave you crying. He is sorry He must leave you now To reach the unknown To take his last bow. Lost in the fog Alone in the deep Bound by a promise That he couldn’t keep.
