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
