I don't believe in done. I don't believe in unbroken, or finished, perfection, spotlessly clean. It's all a lie. We all breaks, cracks, I don't believe in always. Then again... When it comes to my brother's addiction he will always be drowning in alcohol. ***** whiskey, tequila. His brain has become and will stay barren. I don't believe in recovered, or survivor, trauma rotting into your brain. The person you were, just died, a masterpiece scrapped. I believe in lost. Hopelessly lost. Because I am there, or here. I no longer walk the ground of this earth, but rather the quicksand of my memories. Stepping as quick as I can, trying to find a way out of my most recent delusions. I can feel each hurricane of another flashback and revel in it. Thinking I'm revolting against him, but really I'm just letting his fingerprints from the crime scene strip me of my pride again. I'm not sure I believe in hope, in love, in reality. I don't know my stance on revenge, hate, vengeance, pride. I know I'd rip his tongue out, or maybe just half. So he can still taste his own blood. Jam my fingers in the mess, so he can see how it feels to have his blood on my hand. Play our relationship in reverse. Rewind my nightmares, see my body being put back together by time. Slowly I am no longer burning. I would simply slip away. Get out of his hold, head locks, and being restricted. No bruises, no police, no reports, no detectives, no more holes missing from my being. I believe in avoiding possibilities.
