Broken Verse

From now on

we are on our own.


Everything has been turned

around and upon its head

before we could even fall down

to beg upon our knees.


Time moves backwards

as we force our way

forwards, towards the exit

of the dark winding street.


What you tell me now

can never be enough

tomorrow, because I will just cry

again, I'll look in the mirror.


It'll show me my reflection

which is not what I want

to see, because it is what I fear.

It is what I hate.


Let us bathe in the sunlight

of the ignorance that is

happiness, while the sun still shines

because when It sets


I do not want to think about

that today or tomorrow because

I could not bear to watch us fall

into the chasm that is


waiting for me upon the other side

of that horizon

up ahead, away from reality

which is where I belong.
