out on the prairie
alone in my thoughts
deep in the canyons
of unforgiving oughts
I try to divide
the fool from his folly
and hope to abide
broken bones
broken dreams
severed stones
cracked at the seams
shackled by memories
shamed by regret
stories unwritten
symphonies unmet
conflict crashes
lividly lashes
hysteria\'s histories
try
to hide
the turmoil inside
it may be time
to walk away
from severance
