We tried to part ways Neither a place to go The victims of our frays Bound in familiar woe
The hurt we each seek Together, alone The acid we speak This caustic home
A prison, a cell The confines of hate A resulting hell To escape a fate
They claw my heels My attempts to escape They broker deals I must abdicate
This was written as an allegory for trying to overcome heartache, trauma, depression and suffering et al while still having to wake up to it every day.
