Mar 2016
Details eroded from your memory.
Every second of every day another grain slips away.
A piece of past surpassed as memories rush in and only portions hold fast.
No way to make them last as the day melts away and your brain
begins to decay, fade away, no way to
pay
for the mistakes that you've made as you try to survive
this hopeless life, filled with strife,
collisions with the decisions that you made,
wash them away as you choke down all the pain,
your head under water and continue to delay confrontation.
Goodbye.
