Because perspective changes everything

The words that drop faster than gravity
landing as the impact of spring's first rain
Crawling so deep into the ground only to evade
the harsh truth that is so clear as the sky
please, oh won't you please take this away
as I cannot stare any longer before the poor
reflection of what once stood with such valor
now fading as rust begins to scavenge away
the feeling of these two fragile lungs sinking in
only to walk past what remains a skeletal image engraved
realizing that no more, will we share what we had
and yes, surely as the times of sand
only shift towards the bottom of the hourglass
will time ever bring back what was at last
the downfall of all that was built?
surely as kings reside over conquered cities
there is only one who wishes to be
that ruler over this land within me
no you will not take this from my hand
if it is Your will, then let it be done
now what is there left to say as we become
the finely detailed and so perfectly assembled
sounds only echo past these deaf ears
as a blank stare is thrown into the air
wishing, counting, and hoping that there is escape
now we find ourselves stuck within space
gasping for air as we cannot see nor breathe
finally what will become of you and me?
there is no telling what is next on this road
but knowing that we will be together at home
for now we must move along and start again
from two strangers beginning to mend
"It is for the best" we both think
but remember "because perspective changes everything"
