smile for the killer
time slips away faster than is comprehendible...
another year is passing...
it feels like it just began...
bones stir with discontent and curiosity...
it all seems to go by faster as you get older,
disillusioned by all the mistakes...
keep running to catch up only to see
that you’re still second to last in the race...
afflicted with malice and unsettled scores.
curious if tomorrows fate
will be like every year that day comes to pass,
disappointing and unhappy...
forgetting the forgotten, misconceptions...
overdue phone calls, tainted with guilt.
fighting a war within, an epic battle never accounted for...
lost time stands still in a field of landmines.
eternal rest, disintegration in our last breath...
diving deeper than these skeletons can bare,
just out of reach...
desperate to reclaim the rights once lost...
struggling to understand.
promises broken, trying to forget for the new year...
a smile hides all of these words...
a smile gives people what they want...
a smile that kills every time it surfaces.
a place to hide from all of this...
broken down, locked up with a skeletal key...
repressed memories that seer though the mind,
flashes of a past life and all that it used to be...
the whisper of a child’s voice not heard in years,
wondering what happened to you and all the lost years.
burned bridges, shipwrecks and lost directions,
you'll never find the way back..
another year is just around the bend...
another year is passing...
it feels like it just began...
