what do we do when
change goes the wrong way
and we cannot go back
to the place that once was
the door is shut
to the wants we used to want
we can no longer touch
the haves we used to have
moving forward
on broken desires
causes pains we never had
in places we never knew
in the essence of this experience
something new overtakes
something old we still crave
quickly enough to question
the existence of the past
only when acceptance
gives way to indulgence
does the knowledge of the past
coalesce
