Bygones

Too much water under the bridge
So many bygones knocking on the door

My words bounce off ignorant armour
Repeated arguments rattle around my skull

An infinite ticket to a fairground ride on fire
Someone has to stop paying the fare

Trapped in a loop, caught in a cycle
We need to end it, we have to break free

My fight has faded, a snuffed out spark
Now I patiently await an escape path
