Don’t know what love is but I know what it isn’t
Trying to hold onto something reminiscent
Anger, malice, and strife
Words cutting deeper than any knife
Fear creeping in and suffocating all logic
Replaying the past as if it’s chronologic
Picking up shards, bloody hands wrapped in cloth
Trying to drown out their intentional scoff
Empty apologies tossed at your feet
Like something you can’t return without a receipt
Repairing lost self esteem
Behind closed doors live things unseen
Patterns that are toxic
Gripped from the inside, can’t breathe, anoxic.
Feeling depleted
Trauma so deep seeded
Trying to escape the explosive anger,
slamming doors, and repeated clangor
Nightmarish grips on your heart
Leave you longing to depart
Feeling trapped in this dance
Fight or flight stance
Disassociate or try and negotiate
I long to break the vicious cycle
To one day have peace be the title

Good time and bad time
The pulses of time continuum
Repeat with rhythm regular or irregular
Destiny decides the timing and the duration
But they must change from one trait to the other
In the impermanent world of the ever changing times.
Good time and bad time
The two faces of the coin life gets
Spins at its own interval regular or irregular
You face the time good or bad for a little while
But the coin must flip from one face to the other
In unpredictable game of time where life is a gambler.
Good time and bad time
The two opposites in the bipolar world
Vague life poised between them to be stable
You balance on reality rope connecting the two
But they must pull you from one end to the other
In the troublesome times when living is really an art.
Good time and bad time
Contrasts in confused life’s concept
Slice unequally the quality-less time in slots
You float in the flowing cycles regular or irregular
But the destined slots must appear one after the other
In chronologic duality frame where blocks of time build life.

There can be no beginning without end
Point in time, point in space
Eternity spesical chronologic blend
Which something starts, stop time embraced
Final part period in times
Further extremes unwind
Part of point something
Interplanetary pumpkin
Resulting goals seeks to achieve
Interplanetary spaces hard to believe
