Shattered hearts club

Trauma sufferers know the desperation.  The feeling of utter death that repeats.  It can come out in back pain, in heart palpitations.  It can drive them to do stupid things that ruin them.  And ruins the trust with others. When they could least afford. Trauma sufferers know the numbness that ensues When, like a cloying baby, they reach out to others On a bus that's 200,000 times the size of them And they approach someone with sadness in their eyes And they get a massive quaking instead of the love That they sought. And they're frightening to others. And they're frightened of others. And the whole thing repeats And repeats.  And repeats.

Part of you is stuck in the past

 A part of me wants to live in the past, 

and has cut itself off from the here and now. 

The other part of me cancels out the ghost.

of the past and says it's got no right to live. 

So there is a ghost in my past which 

can't come round to living in the present. 

And a present which cancels out 

The ghost of the past. So here we are.

We're dead to the present, dead to the past. 

And so we live as ghosts, all two of us.

Hold my beer, I say. As I vaporize myself.
