the wickedness that lies within our reason
self preservation is the only law
attend the daily mass or execution
but skip out in time to miss the denouement
our silent war is of private destitution
the social contract’s poised against the fact
the status quo demands no resolution
assured the image will remain intact
they’ll neither show nor tell of their dissonance
to uphold their willful pride in old taboos
and so your resolve dissipates
a little bit more every day
as you revise, and compromise
until no matter which side you choose:
you lose
it’s wrong, and forged with secret hatred
the ugly truth that lies within every act
you’ve gone to a place of ancient regrets
to contemplate all that’s lost for the sake of tact
you’ll only see and hear the difference
the errors you could not eliminate
as on and on you rearrange
the choices you have failed to change
but they’re delayed, it’s far too late
and no matter which side you choose:
you lose

i lost you
and now you’ll always
haunt the hallways
of my heart
damned to dark dead ends
and circular ways
echoing sentiments
and dreaming of exits
back to the brighter days
ere this fatal crime (lofty and sublime…)
i can’t atone
ere this punishment (atrophies in time…)
i must face alone
-
fashioning
this funeral guilt
as a shroud
i’m pacing down
the dark corridors
concealed in every crowd
with dulled idealism, no destination
and endless time in isolation
for contemplation of my crime
(i swear it…)
-
in another life
another place
i’d take it back
if i could
and in every time
and in every space
it haunts me
as it should
i’m sorry
i’m so, so sorry
for what i’ve done
