[Poem] Keep On Going, Going Gone

Path broken,
rhythm gone

Taunting notes of a melody,
Known once, for an instant,
Gone for an age,
Cling hauntingly to shadows

Cloying beats of a dirge,
All to familiar,
Lurking always,
Rise chokingly through light

Life leaks from hidden flaws
Ever so softly drip
drip
How tempting it is to slip
slip

Is it weakness to hold on
Or weakness to let go?
