Purple Remains

I can see you spent a lot of time with this
it is almost perfection
but there are a few things you missed
I can see where you are coming from
it is higher intelligence

though you walk in the wind hitting your face
you’re lost in a maze
you forgot your place
you trip on yourself
there’s nobody around
you’re losing balance
you fall to the ground

have you ever missed yourself
because you’re not acting like yourself
have you ever ran into yourself
or was it just a person that looked like you

forget your place
stuck in a suitcase
nothing to find 
bottles of wine
take a trip to a mountain
find the golden fountain
surrounded by barb wire
get stuck like traffic
in a steel cage
broken remains
animals carry you away
for their youth to feed 

you waste your life away
purple remains spill down the drain
