This time

What have these years been
To me and you?
A dream, a fog, a drunken haze?
You tell me

Many hours wasted
Fighting that square peg
It never seems to fit
Or maybe it's just me

How many times
Have I been this close
To being honest
And true to myself?

Why stop
Give in
Another fatuous
Rapprochement

Not this time
Be strong
Be true
Space, time

Contentment

Freedom

Peace
