Karma

Sometimes you gotta get lost to find the emptyness of the true soul. Bury thoose memories to unearth old truths. Cut the ties only to return to thoose past relations. Ive seen the streets erase the picture only to relive the past. Living ghosts a backdrop eternal. I cant question thoose night's regrets like a blanket keep me warm on a humid night. When all is wrong why cant anything be right. I'd never curse you utter truths into your lies. Tainted encounters in many ever changing rooms. Neon lit dream's sunset of my mind salt water taste the bitterness we love. The mountain's veiw is empty and cold. Have we lost the the spark. Iced over thoughts leave only shallow promises to hold. So I'll push you away only to hold the memory dear. A coward to live in the pressent. A living ghost of the man who once stood here. I've lost track gone so far from all that ive known. Sparks in the darkness. Only illusion paint's the reallity sanity grace me life once more. I question has it vanished with my time?
