The inciting incidents collect like fat droplets of rain water. 

They matter more than the opinion of your most trusted imaginary friend.

The sounds of the memories are on reverb, audio turned up high;

Once upon a time there was a fight,

Happening on a dark and stormy night.

 

With endless clashing of arguing swords

Because actions speak much louder than words.

 

The center of an egg,
the warm and yellow middle,
has fallen from its whites.
The absence leaves a riddle.

Emptiness, confusion,
fighting to survive.
Without a central fusion,
impossible to thrive.

Distrust can be scary when
it takes you by surprise
and you don’t know it’s there.

It doesn’t matter how long
I’ve known you, or how stable
you’ve been in the past.

One false move and
the damage is done,

So the river has begun
It’s flowing ever onward
Setting like the sun
On a time when we were stronger

It’s flowing ever onward
Impossible to control
On a time when we were stronger
Before we got stuck in this hole
