at the turning point
you take a breath and look back
before taking the next
step

"The more
time
passes,
the more it
hurts"
when it should be
reversed - with
time to heal

it's hard    to not keep ourselves
held
by the chain reaction
of a thought process
driven on bad vibes
and faulty actions

it happened,
and so it is

"Except I - myself - destroyed
it,
and now I have to
suffer
from my own doing"
we all  have that
neglected friend
better-off-dead
moment

"I caused it all."
we all have that bend
that hurts
to remember
so turn your back on it

It's gone

it happened,
and so it is
