The Day Of Reckoning

I knew this day would come

but in the corners

of my memory

for storage

Then, with one quick call, my world

of independence

and indecisive

was shattered

and I'm left with broken glass.

I can feel the demons trying to slip past me

and enter forbidden territory

that they once found familiar.



But when that move is made

all is brought back

and confusion and madeness reform

like no tomorrow.

When tears swell up like rainclouds

and the feel-good song stops playing repeatedly,

holding comfortable patience...

all that's left to do is cry.



When tears
