Flashes in my rear view The plate I can’t forget The car that takes my breath away No, I’m not ok . The windows are still like prisons Looking out from this new life upon the last Yet I find no solace in desecrating the past This new house once thought to be a vaccine To the creeping virus in my head Scratching against what I wanted to ween . The bottle that once soothed me Gave comfort yet regret Now is but an enemy, stalwart and content In wrecking a mind once meant For so much more just yet . The colossus of my guilt Buried in me to the hilt Still to this day bears a name One still that brings me shame . A man of sorrow Never meant to bother Aches and moans And etches his pain Into his bones
