and you are broken -
drifting and dreaming
floating and then falling
over the edge, at last
you are erasing the past
melting into the rain
you are forgetting the pain
you heal in the dark
scrubbing hard at the marks
singing in solitude
trapped in the interlude
your breathing is quiet
because you are trying
to be strong and silent
resisting the violence
illuminated with care
and still unaware
after all of these years
there will always be tears
intimacy is out of the question
don't want any attention
you are out of your mind
and still you remind
yourself of the solar system
the impossibilities within
the insignificance of humanity
and the inevitable humility
from when you realise
when you recognise
the advantage of forgetting
the peace of letting
it all slip through your fingers
and suddenly life is simpler
though you are a bit unfocused
even though you are broken
you are brilliant, beautiful
and you are alive, as usual
wondering and stumbling
re-awakening and -
