I’ve been looking behind now
For far, far too long
At the choices I’ve made
Discern where I went wrong
Was it me, was it you?
Was it beyond our control?
Unencumbered, we embark
Toward a shiny new goal
My mind’s gone in circles
On a continuous loop
Senselessly replaying
When I need to regroup
The embrace of the sadness
Now loosens its grip
And I unhook all the tubes
Of the love-laden drip
Evicted from my dreams
No assumptions are made
You’ve chosen your path
Your resolve was unswayed
I had wanted the chance
To reconcile how you left
To say goodbye properly
To show that I was bereft
shiny pebbles
