Letting it all fall away never seemed so easy Releasing your grip on what you hold dear is so effortless, Love is boundless Watching your eyes tear up, chips off a piece of my heart Know now that words would no longer have no meaning As a half-hearted epitaph reading: “Here lies John Whogivesaf*ck. May he rest in peace.” On the lonely gravestone and the back of the cemetery, Cracking and being sucked into the Earth. And though it seems the world has stopped turning, I want you to know that I’m still burning And taking the bullets with you. If you fall and black drips out your skin, I’ll take the wound and suck the pain in. Drain you of your sickness and hold you As the world freezes into silver glass. I know it seems the world is deaf and no one will listen I’ll share the hurt and scream with you Scream until our last breath gives out And then, we’ll carve our words into the sky and sun Hope that the world will see And then drift into sleep Calmed by the serene endings of the war That was fought in your mind… …now close your mind And try your best to sing I hope these wings will fit me |

Damn dude, I love it. Amazing ending. Wow, I don't know what to say. What does "Deus Ex Machina" meen? It looks almost like "God is a Machine" in Latin. |

You're close...it translates to "god from the machine" or "god out of a machine." The term was originally used in Greek drama, when an actor playing a god or similar figure was lowered onto the stage on a crane called a machina. Nowadays, it is used to describe a person or situation introduced late in the plot of a book or movie that "saves the day" like the calvary charging in. Are you studying latin? |

Me and my brother didn't make it, I'm sorry! We will try. Is there one next Friday? I could make that I think. Wonderful poem! The use of Latin in the title is nice. Your word choice is really great! |
