Concrete Thoughts

Other days will come. The silence

Reminds me of you, and all of our quiet days

When nothing was similar. All that’s left is the violence

That tears through my mind as I sit here on our steps and gaze

 

If I came back it would never seem like it once did,

Which is more of a wound than when the laceration was fresh.

I guess its time to close the lid

Abandon dependency, and clean my flesh

 

It still rings in my eyes like movies played in reverse

The ending starts the film

A memory of inverse

 

Walking back, all of the pictures begin to melt away

People ask questions showing their concerns

A tired voice manages to whisper, I’m ok
