But I'm not through

But I'm not through
Too much uneven terrain to travel
Too much reality to spark a long dead fire
Too many tears the fingers cannot hold
Taking the easy way does no good
Dredging up the past
Bewilders the already murky vision

Pained eyes of resentment
Stone cold face
Grief upon grief to remain underground
Unleashed
Bared
Unconstrained
Crossing the divide
Of previously curated carefulness not to
Thrust through the false barrier
Of putting hurts aside
Stones first thrown
Words first thrown
Staredown thrown
Adverted eyes

Looking straight ahead
Exposes the rawness of the soul
An anguished heart at this impasse
Of who hurt who
Know that I hurt as much as you
