Leashed to cemeteries that I carry

With...Me...A weight across years

A long unbroken stride

Set to the poem of burning desert

The past is severed from memory

The spent links swept away

Are the fangs in our hearts are now gone

Or is it anger that keeps us alive?

Chalk outlines tell nothing

But continue without pause

My reflection shows ashes, I've found my place

Seated at a table of wolves

The last and only wish

Can't be fulfilled

Balled up letters left unread

As if it was never written

The past stays the past

The dead stay the dead

Wall up memories so I'll forget

In the end there's nothing that you can take back
