What If Why Not

Memories of the type.

Too far to be kind.

Are forested by layers.

Burning holes in my 
mind.

What if.

What could have been.

What was always 
unseen.

Why not.

What now.

To and where I have 
already been.

The fire to unhappiness 
are flaming with trust.

The nails in my coffin.

Are shining with rust.

My lies did not blow 
inside before the snow.
 
I am the driver of lust..

My soul is lost.

Beyond what's left of 
my time.

Strikes the hand on the 
clock.

Sand into the dust.
