A century inside a second

I call you from the fracture of the air
From the breath between seconds
Hear me

I saw you bend the night like glass
An animal made of spirals and scars
Your shadow twisted the laws of time
Every step you took erased the line

I reached with hands that weren’t just mine
They carried echoes I don’t recognize
You opened a wound inside the sky
And I looked through with borrowed eyes

Inside your form the clocks were screaming
Minutes drowning, centuries breathing
I felt my name dissolve in light
As all my lives ignited at once

I see beyond imagination
Past, present, future in collision
I see my birth, I see my end
I see myself before I began

You are the shape of revelation
A living tear in creation
Through your eyes I finally know
Everything I was
Everything I’ll be

I watched my mother before my face
I watched my lover forget my name
I watched the world turn into dust
And bloom again from broken trust

Your heartbeat pulled me through the years
Through every joy, through every fear
I wasn’t dreaming, I was inside
The truth no mind was meant to find

I felt time crawl across my skin
Like a thousand lives breathing in
No mercy left, no need to pray
When all directions point the same

I see beyond imagination
Past, present, future in collision
I see the fire, I see the flood
I see the end written in blood

You are the shape of revelation
A living tear in creation
Through your eyes I finally know
Everything I lost
Everything I’ll become

You are not beast
You are not god
You are the question
That breaks the clock

I did not find you
You found me first
Waiting inside
The moment before the universe

The space is folding
The silence screams
I’m falling through
All that I’ve been

I'm in gosh, I am the now
I am the future breaking out

You pull me through the final veil
Where every word and fear dissolves
I don’t return the same again
I’ve seen too much
I understand

I saw everything
And it saw me
