Another

I hurt them, they hurt me, but we are all in the same boat, ultimately....getting the short end of the stick somehow.

Another place, another time -
Another day, another life.

Another moment flying by
That I would ask to stay.
Another moment frozen still
That I would send away.

Another cage, another prison -
Another age, another season.

Another freedom lost again
to the demands of others.
Another breath I would gain
Were it not smothered.

Another pain, another wound -
Another face, another round.

Another hurt left unhealed
And the stitches undone.
Another tomb left unsealed
And a deadly tale spun.

Another flame, another fire –
Another name, another mire.

Another sigh that escapes
As you begin drowning.
Another set of waves
That seem overwhelming.
