chapters leaf by in rapid motion
i run so hard to get away from what was
but regret catches me every time.
i am staring up at the empty sky, the starless sky
i suppose no one can get in if i don't let them
but in the confusion i still wonder
why no one gets in.
the circle ends all the time,
over and over.
it's over; it's been over for years;
but the scene never ends:
it never fails to loop seamlessly
i never seem to change the channel
the credits never start, the closing theme never starts.
