Beating Up Dead Horses

  
So you want to beat this dead horse till you’re all hoarse?  
Go ahead and be my guest  
I thought this case was closed but I guess you forgot so…  
Get it off your chest  
   
again    
   and    
      again  
   
I mean it’s exhausting watching you go around in circles  
Let alone the isolation, it’s becoming quite the predicament  
You’re slowly putting yourself in loneliness unknowingly  
And when you find all the emptiness it’ll be your detriment  
   
Perhaps you’re not ready to let go of the hate and hurt  
It’s as if it gives you strength or maybe some kind of purpose  
As the years fly by leaving you behind life won’t be so kind  
Like a blank canvass when the art never made it to the surface  
   
I pray and hope that one day you learn to see beyond yourself  
Accept what the universe offers along with all the unknowns    
But if you want to spend your time and energy on old things  
I’ll just wait here quietly and watch you pulverize the bones
