Long Hindsight is 20 20 Poems

Lonely & hurt 
Broken I remain
Can't shake the guilt
Living in shame
Put on fake smile
I slowly fade away
The nightmare of your death 
We live with every day
The meaning of it all this
to which my mind attends
Has...

Sitting on a stack of old portraits
Feeling like an ill fated king, destined to be dethroned
Lonely and long since forgotten
At least that’s the narrative my mind conjures up
Whether it breathes truth, as always
A matter of...

whats seen
& behind their glassy stare many things

on a journey to self discovery
Recovery of our identity is...

if only death would come 
knocking
when it needed to be paid
attention to,
when its reality & inevitability
could solve so very many
fruitless & futile arguments
which rip & tear up
loving relationships,
families that normally stick 
together &
warm friendships gone...

Why do we always become aware of things when it’s too late
The unconscious mind screaming to closed ears just wait

And you know the saying hindsight is 20/20, well some are looking the wrong way 
Gasping...

The rearview portrays a world that no longer is there
A moment in time on the clock that was never meant to last

What a difference it would make
To learn early in life
How to recognize true friends

When I was young
And had to chose between friends
It was a life altering decision
A turning point
I was only...

conclusions drawn in crimson 
they're the hardest to erase
as is seeps from every pore
pooling on the tile like waste
I guess some would call it
a bitter aftertaste

it shrouds like a hooded cape
never quite fading away
it's there...

Haunted by words
I wrote so long ago
Then the meaning was unclear
But now I know

I didn't quite understand 
The words I wrote then
But it's clear to see a premonition
Spilled from my pen

It seems like we're always...

they say "hindsight is 20/20" 
is it easy to validate what is behind us
like a storm that causes mass destruction and death
get indemnity for what is lost, even when it's time?

spring had sprung, winter clung
