Years
distant years
lived in hope, vain
for change, fulfilment
sometime
some time passes
ends enter focus
needs mirrored lost
hope fails
communication gutters
all joy consumed
perhaps honest despair
is a better way than
living, passing for life
out of time
a future time machine
that what? Reaches out to
now
when tired and so alone
I can if barely survive
back then if honesty
were my life
I would have broken
snapped like a dry twig
held tied in string
pieces delicious frayed
afraid
living a lie unspoken
was perhaps just
survival but oh
such a waste I'd if been
able what might else
I have ever become
decade
lost
lost so much
lost encysted
lost yearning?
lost in time
