Memoirs of chance

Once & forever
Torn apart by swells
Waves from distant shores
Built up by tycoon earthquakes

As my ship sinks
I repaint the picture
With all the words I didn’t say
Sorrow in the memoirs of chance

Empty memoirs of chance
Disguised as full hard drives
Terror bites empty of the gift
Broken off were my finger tips
Bones shattering upon the keys
As if I were dead or made of glass

As my ship sinks
I repaint the picture
With all the words I didn’t say
Sorrow in the memoirs of chance

Once & forever
Torn apart sinking alone
From waves of misunderstanding
On distant shores business demanded my head
Built up tycoon earthquakes to silence
Media printed the misfit tragedy
Of the perilous choices I made
As foolish instead of justice

Heavy hearted denied my own promise
Grant hope via poetry which unexists
Written away unmanaged accounts
Memoirs of chance unchanged
Locked away forever alone
In my heart’s solace cave
Sorry that I betrayed

For too long I stood alone
Incarcerated in my own shadow
Never reaching out for a hand to hold
Hypocrisy gossip became my key
Swallowed by a shallow piece
Words discredited to drown
Murderous intent for me

Who am I now
What have I become
As my ship sinks slowly down
The shallow sink’s drain empties
News broadcast reveals a tragic drowning
I repainted not a single hopeful picture
I spent every stroke for the cause
Sorrow in my memoirs of chance
All the words lost forever
Those I didn’t say
