Starting Again
February 10, 2013
Torn from myself
Chalk stains chiseled upon steel backboards
River of blood, sweat, and broken dreams
Accumulate in a puddle of regret
Drown away my absent tears
Guitar strings pried away from the neck
Mangled mess of bohemia
Her hair coffee swirled
Salt and pepper nails
Lips that dodge no words
Close your eyes
Consumed by night terrors
Even as the light blinds you
Dilated pupils
No match for the shadows cast
Fading into the abyss
Veins dyed the color of guilt
Crack your fingers
Breathe
Walk out the door
