Of What Is And What Was

Folder: 
Unpublished pieces

Dark recesses of terror
Careening harshly through me.
Memories linger on
while rituals become
                            and
overwhelm me.
What was before, is now.
In a plain of despair,
music playing nearby.
Swaying the hatred
         through my hair.
Impressions of lust
trapped forever in me.
While solitude
                    speaks
and defines me.
Memories confuse.
They shift and distort.
They bend and reshape
the strength
                 of my
                     commitments.
Souls of solitude
           drip meaningfully
from my hands.
I hold nothing
                      and
      nothing holds me back.
Stripped naked of defences.
I'm victim to myself.
Pictures fade, blemished,
                    they
     take any shape or form.

I am not what I was.
