Until - A three part process

Until 1 - Original

The tension of possibilities,
stretching your dread
and exhiliration,
until the lines snap
taught, and break.

The nervousness of waiting,
teasing your cynicism
and weightless ideal,
until your dreams come
hard, inside you.

The cowardice of depression,
suffocating your wonder
and feeding on self,
until fattened it turns
away, smiling wanly.

Until 3 - Recompiled (Tension)

Exhiliration stretching into dread,
Hard lines cut by your own hand.
You taught it; break it's hold.

Waiting, nervous waiting, teasing
With glimpses of apathetic angels.
Your dreams come hard inside you.

Fearing it's unrecognized shapes,
Lusting for some sort of opening
To shed light and amaze you.

Until it's soft push turns you,
Your tight smile whining in pity
Folding back into your pinched face.
