Wrong Way

Wrong Way

The chasm between us
bridged by a path 
paved with eggshells
which I would tread gingerly
Now it is replaced
with broken glass
Each step cutting deep
slicing in ribbons
I stand there frozen in time
The way forward, bloody
Retreat, and I lick wounds
Treacherous territory
Damned if I do
Damned if I don’t
I claw my way back
from whence I came
What is one more scar
when it will be the last
 
Goodbye
