Let it burn

Let it all dim a bit 
Let the lights flicker and die 
Let the noise chatter itself soar 
Let this chaos wind itself into the ground 
It all shall be...
Let the words wrestle themselves into oblivion 
Let everything exhaust itself 
Like dogs 
Like street walkers 
Like this city 
The trash shall burn, and we shall choke
Someone cannot breath, this too shall pass 
Taste the char in the air, the remains of what was 
Looking back, what does he miss the most?
Or is he beyond? Beyond missing 
Beyond the yearning, beyond the din 
Is he now only a memory, like so many others 
Fading, receding, but haunting 
Every now and then, in the making of the self 
In the unmasking of life, in the crevices of the everyday 
In me, you live in me, whether I like it 
Or die in you, as I would..
