"Undone"


“Undone” And here we are slowly but surely falling apart Slow as time seems to have stopped Caught amiss bliss and tears But we were bound as the end is Inevitable as the time that won’t pass Stuck in the suspended memories Kept on waiting for it to be better For it to finally feel right But always it was a fight A fight to fight A fight to love A fight for happiness That was so fleeting Though once was all we knew Slowly and surely we were coming undone Continuing on Sometimes I wonder about you Wonder if your mind ever wanders to me I know this is nothing new Sounds like T. Swift Or teenage angst This is just high school We’ll forget it all soon But I think many would recognize That feeling Even if it lasts for just an instant Long enough to say I’m sorry, I lied Long enough to remember What they may never know Whether it is regret or the truth Both belong to the past That nagging tie to the past Presently moved on Presently bothersome, sometimes invasive The future, a collaboration of Correcting past transgressions With present diligence and avoidance The future though we may question If only in passing With the most common, plaguing, vexing, forever unanswered Inquiry Simply of What if? But you can’t live your life on What if. Recognizing that What could have been Holds no place now And with current projection Shall not be. So here we are following the path of the inevitable end An end so eventual Eventually it was bound to happen Happening so quick Quicker than falling in love Is watching the whole thing come undone
