THE FUTURE LIES BEHIND
by JM

Everything happy is remembered
not anticipated

Hope is nostalgia;
living is enduring

Conjugate the verb 'to love';
it begins and ends
in past tense.

Suicide has no point:
if I'm guilty, this is apt
no need to search for darkness
tonight, tomorrow and beyond
are all dark

'climb' refers to down, not up
'try' and 'fail' are not antonyms

why am i at the bottom of a pit?

if i knew,
i wouldn't be here.
