Where to begin?
Tortured thoughts.
What's right? What's wrong? It's all relative.
What's wrong with me?

I think the cathedral's fallen - revealing me
The catheter in my chest making a pathetic attempt to clear the black bile
It rises tidally. Threatening to sweep away all that I hold dear.

Which way is ... Up?
Not looking for escape just light -
The fight's just begun.
Hacking my darker self to pieces.

Our swords glisten crimson 
Only an idiot tries to kill himself

A solution must be found.

On introspection, it's immediately obvious that retrospect is a wonderful thing
"If I'd only done this ..."
"If only I'd never said that"
"I wish I never had hurt you"
-But choice dictates 
Consequence

The first step to maturity is accepting the fallout of one's decisions.

Fall.
It rained that day, didn't it?
As the walls that were torn down went back up.
Then the masks came out.
Masks of ... Joviality and impartiality
How ... Impractical.
The truth could have saved it.

Introspection again.

What's done is done (tell my heart that)

So what next?
Acceptance.
Renewal.
Reversion an impossibility.

Remorse's come.
