To live in your shadow leaves not much to be. Forgotten in the rust and the decay. The dew of your breath blackens the skies as we strike a match to light our way.
A hollow shell of memory or a glimpse of collapsing empire? Remnants of a world incomplete. Materialized for a second just to be forgotten. A cadaver not worth its remains.
Swaying in the wake of you.
Another city of ashes. Just another scorched earth policy. A projective map of acquisition, but with little prospects of salvation. Sold to the highest bidder to collect weeds in an empty lot. An empire of abandoned colonies.
