A Man Exits

I escaped the horizon
Feeling nothing was the easiest existence
Leaving a world of regret in a wake of flames
No flame ever burned as bright
I will not leave a martyr
No more eyes to frame my falls
I can’t live life for closed hearts
Joy left me that day
Pulled from my hands as the robbed me of life
I am leaving earth
Burning the past as I turn and wave goodbye
I am finally alive
