Tiptoeing through memories
As if they are not mine,
Quietly peeking around corners,
Watching my favorites one at a time
Crying alongside visions of myself
Some things still hurt after all,
Giggling alongside others,
I see how that man made me fall
Running past the most embarrassing clips
Or I'll end up stuck there all day,
Reliving past decisions,
Wondering what happened the other way
I can make predictions
Of lives I chose not to live,
Can't do it from a somber place,
Or myself I'll never forgive
Choices unmade always seem better
When the ones chosen go amiss,
But you chose them for a reason,
No one ever said every path leads to bliss
