Sense of Loss

40 1 2
                                    

Could this life's memories have been real,

I don't know what I feel.

Glass cutting my fingers

or knives against my skin

And numb pain that still lingers

heart empty past the brim

Like fire eating up my flesh

or ice inside my darkened bones

And needless upon all the rest

dragged along with stones

Could this life's memories have been real,

I don't know what I feel.
