It’s been replayed a thousand times

A simple cycle in my ever-closing mind

The sinking feeling – reeling – never goes away

It ceaselessly tears into me

The seeds of anguish form an impenetrable wall

Agony of loss so radically unbearable

Helpless hands reach out to forgive

A scar too deep to ever truly heal

Shattered by the utterly unspeakable

Locked in chains of pain unbreakable

In this prison of the bitter mind

Peace is something I will never find

It’s been replayed a thousand times

A simple cycle in my ever-closing mind

The sinking feeling – reeling – never goes away

It ceaselessly tears into me …tears into me…
