Legacy Of Our Teens

Sorry for the way we were,
dysfunctional entities coexisting farcical.
Catastrophes in the mirrorworld
where happiness coats wrenching sadness.

We’ll blame each other
for the chemistry that enslaved us.
Turn topsy turvy minds;
mere kids in the love grind.

Shallow love fueled it,
our parasitic interdependency.
Loving for the sake of the l-o-v-e,
then forgetting what we spelled.

We weren’t worth the effort,
the meticulous bomb-planting disaster.
Sorry for being an accomplice,
a willing participant in our destruction.

We’ll try to remember nice things,
non-existent memories.
Utter random pleadings of reverie cells
aching for substance-
affirmation of a war not vainly fought.
