From Past to Future Past

Wretched crossroad never meant to be,
Tearing walls for something which never wanted to be free.

Bitter rain mixed with salty streams,
Flowing into ocean, great abyss, to forlorn dreams,
Doomed coin flipped and came to rest on rugged edge,
Just barely hanging on to life’s ledge.

Nostalgia spinning head right back,
Turning to the supernatural, god trying keep track,
Offerings to death, to anything but life,
Into raging currents, wishes torn, hopelessly dive.

Forever longing, dreams just out of reach,
The lovers passing by, witness to the breach,
Waves roll out consuming all, dam fallen apart,
Despair and suppressed wishes, incomprehensible art.

Tentacles crawling beneath aching skin,
Praying for just one tiny win,
Skies rest on broken, brittle bone,
Running, running, do you want to be alone?

Left behind the sanctuary,
Left behind all that cared,
Left behind all that hurt,

But where to now.
