1975

[dyslimbic]

I remember nineteen seventy five
chasing emptiness just to stay alive
hopes shattered and broken,
words of salvation never spoken,
I remember blame and then more blame
no panacea to soothe all the pain
I remember parental warfare
I remember no one was there
I remember the post mortems they'd hold
so much to say but emotionally cold
I remember confidence shattered day after day
Nineteen seventy five when blue turned to grey
