The mind is so boggled
With my thoughts toggled.
Is it this way or that way,
What’s it gonna be today?

Trying to clear the mind,
Sanctuary so hard to find.
Torched mind in the past
Relit without being asked.

Feelings become strayed,
Crushing thoughts invade.
Silence again the norm
As I ride out the storm.

Mixed thoughts run rife
As some cut like a knife.
The days of good and bad
Echo of the past one had.

Future’s looking so bright.
Yet the past remains a blight.
Not all faults were of your own
When others did cast the stone.

Shame curses the one fragile,
The guilty allowed to be vagile.
Allow me to be at peace forever,
Take away the hurt, wherever.

Bittersweet memories do remain
Of a love lost,...
