Anicca

Nothing is permanent
When there is love
The world stands still
Yet everything that begins ends
You want to reach across time
You want to hold on for dear life
But things unravel

Boundaries are crossed
It doesn't really matter the reason
It is what it is
Tears and salt in the wounds
Bleeding rose petals
Dripping from the heart
Unimaginable sadness
In the permutation

Loss so huge
That the heat of the branding
Singes your soul
All these years later
The follicles won't
Grow out of the scar tissue
I am irretrievably damaged
Happiness was eviscerated
