Call it stupid curiosity,

possible... emotional masochist reminiscing -

As I concede bitterly,

Does one reflect of me?

Have you traced steps to when the world made just a bit of sense?

Perhaps exhumed littered possibilities from truth held forever in past tense?

Look beyond eyes no further...

Tortured hearts burn within fire purely as strong as their girder -

Even then - a lifetime to put flames to amber - only smothered.
