‘Tied Knots’

I left footprints in the sand,

As a message,

That you could understand.

But stride for stride, I ran

From these tied knots,

That never mend.

---

The shining light,

That you shook to dim,

Falls a piece of this wound,

That I will never give again.

---

Blackened by your exit,

A shredding of what’s left,

Words that burn bright with sharp edges,

From these tied knots,

That we both knew would never last.

---

The shining light,

That you shook to dim.

Falls a piece of this wound,

That I will never give again.

‘Second Skin’

The past is a skeleton,

carved in clay, in time constructed,

Only to fall away.

I buried old scars, over these miles,

that your words had laid.

Spoke in silence,

While I watched the world decay.

---

Was it the symptom,

Or the cure?

Did these feelings condemn you,

Or control.

---

Finding fault,

Only leads to blame.

A collision course of the mind, feel no pain

A collision course of the mind, feel no pain.
