reckless memories
on a pathway of distant destruction,
no knowledge behind
the movement
the cracking of thoughts
beneath my feet,
as they brake into a million tries and
it’s never going to happen
emotions fall around me
as I try and catch one that fits,
a hand grasping
for sunlight, falling, falling
I am taking the back roads
to the place I want to be,
pressing through the hurt
to find heartbreak, never, never again
passion like a fire
burns through right and wrong,
mercy stumbles into the darkness
upon a crumbling soul
the dirt of past
rubs on the knees of a prayer,
eyes fall upon footprints
fading into a violet sky
here I am, crossing the point of
sunrise and sunset, darkness and happy
the balance of spirit and reality
collide, it's the
scars breaking my skin
making me remember,
the road that brought me
to the place I want to be.
