Remind me, of this sweet release
My mind full of shards
I have awakened in a field of ambiguity
I remembered glimpses of a childhood
We were all innocent back then.
Uncorrupted by the wiles of pain and disappointment.

Is this the closure I need?
Haunted by the past? The dysfunction of hope
This field with branches decayed
Even the wind here is nonexistent.
Will memories become corporal forms?

Loss defines us, caricatures.
I'm trying to find meaning in what we classify existence.

I'm trying to fathom
Even dreams reject me.
So, this is what it feels like to be haunted?

Until it withers, alone.
Until tomorrow, close your eyes
Forget.

-----------------

The lost past haunts me to this very day
Will not go away
The endless torture, the endless inflictions
Now open your eyes.
