all anguish is muted

in the face of the fact


you're locked in track

to the end of this life


and bitter acceptance

is all can be mustered


and even all you've done

is as amazing as regret for what wasn't...


all this to realize

their were other ways to go


other than the one you insisted on

and all you have now is the cold peace


of a fading ache that is the relief

of the self-conscious soul


who didn't know better

after all...


all causes affecting the dour review of life

simmering before the silencing light...
