Ways to Pass the Time

Vestigial Remorse

16 - Ways to Pass the Time

love is just an effigy
i’ve burnt and burnt and tried
cast out upon the open seas
of all the times i’ve died

and to the realms of ecstasy
i’ve sinned and sinned and cried
just like those before me
so unique in all i’ve tried

it matters not the past i’ve seen
the blood i’ve shed or your lies
it matters not the love i’ve lost
injuries suffered from your crimes

the things i am are what i’m made
my dark fragmented mind
the things i find are what i make
fast, hollow, short-lived…
