misty tears fall on splintered parchment
history simmers
the shackles of centuries cast off
the chains of oppression shattered
embracing new horizons
dawning
&
trusting once again
in that unfinished dream
of less famished tomorrows

letting go
breaking it all
stripped bare
fractured
lost in the fog
of whispered lies
drenched
drowned
spent
chewed up and spat out
into the sewers
just another of your litter
another puppy dog
and all in all
when curtains fall
i remain
just another
essential cog
left broken
adrift
anchorless on oceans
of twisted words
numb
in a maelstrom of half truths & lies
abandoned underneath shared skies …
… and now that the years have fled
and tears have been bled
and all that i have left
are my eyes
straining to see
you
fading slightly
yet still
the only constant
the only thing
i know to be true
