I’ve worn escape in my eyes
From time to time
Disguised as lost sleep
I abuse

Watched foundations lapse
Into sand
Framing old dreams
In towers crumbling beneath

Spoke to sensory ghosts
Lacking heads
In silence they remind me
All passed is dead

Sometimes, I seek out reasons to stay awake so I have the excuse of being tired when I'm unresponsive the next day. I've realised many of my relationships decay over time. It seems hopeless to try.

The past holds only events and feelings--maybe selective ones. Maybe I've erased some, or replaced others . . . interpretations change with time. Memories are so liquid.

One thing I can tell you for sure is that everything that has ever been, is no longer anymore.
