Welcome
back
I
am not back
do
not speak to me
Tell
me a story
There
is no story
only
tears that blur
the
words
Tell
me a story where
no
one wins
I
lost victory long ago
lost
its taste, its smell
I
lost the smoke and
the
screams and
the
burning
I
lost the cool taste of
water
on a hot day
I
lost the quarry and the
lake
I
lost what I believed myself
to
be
I
lost daydreams and goodbyes
and
hellos and new chances
I
lost imagination
You
are not lost
Stop
talking to me
I
forgot the riddle long ago
You forgot nothing
I
will cross out words
I
will make believe
I
will stop everything
You
know me
I
was something I liked,
once
I
think
I
don’t know
I
don’t know a damn thing
anymore
the
fire has gone out and
I
am cold
I
am so fucking cold
incredibly intense how it comes up for air breaks through the surface only to dip back under again struggling for air line by line..... brilliant Maggie~
