Unbroken spirit

Looking into the rear view mirror,
scrutinizing every minute detail from my past.
A silvery tears drops from my eye,
As in retrospect I realize why things didn't last.

In my heart wrenching journey of retrospection,
as I dissect each delusion, each fault.
Worms of guilt eat my flesh and slit my heart,
as I tread on the path of emotional assault.

Memories dissolve into silent tears,
Lips whisper "I'm fine"
My feelings disillusioned and energy drained,
My thoughts refuse to align.

I gather myself and pace ahead,
as the former me vanquished in today's events awoken.
I walk forward with broken wings
But my spirit is unbroken.
