this bitter lonliness aware
i know i sit in emptyness' chair
waiting for the dead silence to dare
me to give up on myself like those who don't care

rewind
every single kind
word i spoke only to find
my weakness made me go blind
taking several steps back falling behind
into the darkness of sorrow shadowing all that shined

there will always be those times we needed to step back for a moment in order to achieve forward motion. Excellently put with such great form and flow.
