Fast Forgetting

I stumble down
Stopping past a raw bud
And look up to the bounty
I leave behind

I knew it once

The hill held happiness
Beneath its earthen hearth
It beats still

But I am left
To leave and loathe to
Go

Below
There lies a lake
A liar's loch
Stalking me as I pass
The long grass goads me
Into memory

Farther from the firth I flee
Into a town of tired souls
The misery will tempt a turn
Yet must I travel
To my goal maligned

I find the crossroads
As I kept them
Costly swept away with
Weeping dirt

I hurt to diet
Hieing my heart
To die
Yet on it speaks
And so I meet
The lightning
