Why does tomorrow feel
beyond that of possibility
And today as though it
is lost to a fluid surreality
and all that my life is
is a burden of a past
carved so vividly
bloodily
permanently
into my being
that though I try to escape
I am always brought back
I am chained to moments in time
Harsh and unforgettable
Unforgiveable moments
Replayed over and over
And everything else is but background noise
Branded, scarred, mutilated for all eternity
And all the present does is
Pour salt on these old, but still bleeding wounds
I long to fly
But have long ago broken my own wings
