I always try to choose my words carefully Each syllable like an incision with a scalpel Well intentioned and good mannered In hopes of removing the ticking time bombs placed inside you and me by those that have left us behind But one wrong slip One accidental miscalculation Obliterates the progress that I have so carefully tried to create. Could one word have changed it all? Could one different syllable be the reason that you are still here?
I wanted to give this piece a title, but I couldn't decide on one that I was satisfied with. If anyone has a suggestion I'd be glad to hear it.
