In a moment, history paused - a click, a shutter opened and closed - done
That moment is now history suspended for the future - to see it, as it is - as it was
In a moment, history paused - a scream, a yell, a heart broken - all recorded
That moment is now history frozen for an individual - to reflect on - at any instance
Instantly, that pain can be realized again and again
Suddenly, tears travel a course once traveled before
Suddenly, a heart breaks again, over the residence of a scar
What of love? I beg your perspective! I beg - for an answer!
Why allow this repetition to circle infinitely?
Moments passed, never passed - never left behind
In a moment, a sojourn of time: an argument, then loneliness, then aching arms - saved
Reflections now relived - daily, nightly - always
A moment alone replays horrible memoirs
In a moment, a split second: the impact of words - on a heart radiate - pain.
Survived within, yet unwanted
Every second, minute, hour, day, or week – relived, over again
Suddenly, time holds no grounds, because that moment - is fresh, again
Suddenly, a moment past - is relived, as though it was the first time
What of me? Where do I belong in this - deathly - theatrical production?
Why am I - ignored? Why, am I - again crying in the corner?
Demolished from years past – chronicled hate
Moments gone; haunt a scarred heart - yesterday today
Loneliness begs my company. She screams - unheard, except by me
”Share my pain” she begs
“Feel as my twin soul - agony”
Her pleas reach out, drawing on my trapped annals
Pain, broken hearts, scarred memories - my souls’ anthology
Please - love me
Please, love me - please
Whispers unheard, ever recorded
Ne’er stopped, forever unwanted.
Where is the shutter now? Where - are you?
Hear my plea; see my tears, share - my pain -
please
