Detour

I have lost our yesterdays in the folds of time
What was once stormy and salty and wet
is now faded and finished and evaporated

Our shadows still live in my memory
running with the teardrops and the lies
I was so certain that there was something different about you

Alas, you were another detour on my road to peace
full of dips and turns and violent collisions
hardly worth the joy ride

And though today has forgiven me
while my heart has stitched its bleeding sides
Your crooked darkness still floods the corners of my soul
