Two Broken Souls

Here we sit

Sifting through the scattered hauntings of our lifetimes

Like torn slips of paper, one blends with another

All becoming a conglomerate of shit

Pain seeps in

Each memory exposing scars once thought healed

Festering in our minds creating chaos

And neither knows where to begin

Black nor white

The grey of each trauma misconstrues all reason

Faces of unimpeachable participants meld into one

Each fighting to be right

It’s all loss

There are no winners, no losers, just sorrow

Broken souls lashing out at one another

With no bridge left to cross

Rage and Agony

Each fighting for self-preservation since birth

Never seeing we aren’t the cause of this suffering

Distorting love into blasphemy

Can’t we see?

These battles we fight have long since ended

These hurts we feel are mere memories

How do we get set free?

Right or Wrong

The blame only serves to put down the other

These hurts we carry on our backs

Betrayed us all along

Learn to love

Return to what once came so easily

No deceptions or expectations

Just us again in love
