Vacuum of loss,
A faithful sidearm.
But failure lingers,
Cries out in alarms.
Death beckons of finality,
Lost words irrelevant.
Like smoke, memories, reality,
Opportunity lost heaven-sent?
Regret but wasted thought,
Time flows relentless.
For every second, won and fought,
Your harshness purely groundless.
Amends for amends,
A downward spiral spins.
Eye for an eye makes the world blind,
So sever all that binds… and run.
Stop raging against the current,
Change things for different results.
Brush shoulders with all this torment.
