Introspective Punishment
I looked back and saw it,
anger gnawed it, I put out the cigarette I just lit.
Let go to see the depravity endorsed by me
Shattered pieces still reflect this carelessness
No bedtime story-story wakes you sweating scared
the visions spun left you unaware-this is your minds eye
But all the time? Punishing slumber with regretted recall
Watch the peacefulness cease for us , or I as it were....
Image blurred -so then occurred there may be hope just yet!
rearrange the view, if just these few were most upset
No never!! I know the end before it begins, tragic tale
There is no reprieve only flashes where it failed
punishing most is that lingering hope you hold fool-tightly
Mind is strong but not more so than the grief that consumes it.
