so many new dead ends
as you stood there growling
back turned
unmoveable unreachable untouchable
you cut me off
from myself
as you slashed your concrete way
through my heart
silence
you took my victory arch from me
my sceptred chariot
galloping into the sunrise
outrage fire outrage
so many failed attempts
to get over
the borderline
drenched in blood
at the foot of the pitiless
wall of unreason
silence
years crawled past
freedom kissed like an oxygen mask
the shackle slipped off
a heart repaired
untroubled
empty
