Lesson

Side step your life
Flat on your back
Warm waves lap inside
Those memories that make
You you
Gentle now, without having to touch
The feelings you can
Lay back and observe
Consider as one blends into the next
And beautifully removed
You watch your former self f**k-
F**k up, perfectly content you drift
Responsibilities audible but so

taken care of




Weeks later electric, exhausted
aching, ashamed so
alert.

The realisation that escape is impossible
The price will be paid
In opposite and exactly equal value
For the break you accidentally took.




Oh
