there is a point of no return
unthinkingly dismissed
a line crossed
bringing instant regret;
each and every decision
up until that moment
questioned
lamented
and rued
i have just crossed
that threshold again
the hangnail was
bitten and pulled
until flesh was torn
and the blood ran
now there is nothing
but discomfort
knowing full well
what i was doing;
there is no excuse
for such folly
