I’ve realize that these memories shall never leave me.

They have left a permanent imprint on my soul.

Like perpetual scars,

Spiraling so dizzily around my body.

And I wonder how long they will last,

Or If I’ll ever be pleased at my reflection.

They exist among all of you too.

With your stories,

That could carve novels into your skin.

And I mourn for you,

And for this world.

I morn for us.

And we always knew it would be this way,

As the multitudes of tears that I shed,

Create pools around my ankles.

I think about the lost potential.

Regretfully the water is rising,

And I sink into your gorgeous eyes.

I don’t want to say we could have been so much more.

As our generation screams when will it get better?

The hypocrites preach and their sheep will follow.

And why does it take so much?

They are all the same empty vessels,

Just as terrified as you.

So have heart.

Even though nothing changes,

And we all move amongst each other,

Like phantoms forever searching,

Exploited by the evil residue,

of the scars that remain.

But I can’t give up now,

Love is all I have to believe in.
