despair

I was happy never expecting or making promises.

This one dragged from me, felt important. Yet I do not care what becomes of me now. The stream was my fate; and now my currents carry something to spectacular, ferocious failure... Or success that will heal so much wrong, -- and also break me.  

Or... maybe it won't break me, and that would be even worse.

Surreal
Across the void
Skim the abyss
Fight like a demon

Trapped between
Ahead
Behind

Hope
Remember
Forget

The lost
and found
Both
Red and cold

Surreal
Like the day she laughed

Refractions
Cruel music
Of a dark stream
