a restless search for an exit strategy

and there is not any

Caught up in intricate moments that merely bring about despair of a reality carried out yet denied

an analogy that froze bewildered of what is

what should have been became a criminal that erred and fled

Terrorized by a self inflicted phobia

Astound as the picture is looped

yet at the sight of you;

the physical change of matter knows no rules

only as far as the display of events is concerned

the intolerable cruelty of the assumption that apathy stood triumphant

debt became inevitable to repay

and it became …

an empty playground

and no kids around to play

all left to grow up

all grew ripe

all grew weary

of the dreamy child

cast away was the needy sight

this world goes on

and along the way

All becomes a faded memory that ran away
