If Not This Time

Since time forgot

To turn the lock

And let me enter

My soul is deft

And trained in theft

So I will slither

Under, through, around the cracks

Tiny seams, no door locks

If not this time

Maybe the next

Since light neglected

To be reflected

And let me see

My soul has glasses

Percieves the passes

That should wither

Piercing through around the haze

Pillared clouds drift away

If not this time

Maybe the next

Since love's rejection

Destroyed perception

And left me free

My soul eroded

My brain imploded

Down to cinders

Growing new senses to feel

Seeing, hearing all that is real

If not this time

Maybe never
