Circumstances

If memories were the sands in the hourglass

I'd keep turning it over to relive the happier past

To the starless nights and naive hopes

and everything in between before the down hill slope

Somehow the pieces didn't fit right

One end's loose, the other too tight

Wasted times and wasted tears

Consumed by overwhelming fears

No amount of my apology could undo the done

Our fairy tale died, and bleak reality won

Perhaps I could have gotten a stronger heart

but I suppose I wrecked my own part

Excess of reason and overpowering ambitions

Suffocating doubts and futures uncertain

Too afraid of hurting that I hacked my own nerves

The prize too good for what I deserve


There's a void now where my heart once was
It was too intense for my own good, I suppose
Who'd ever thought it'd bleed as it does
A turmoil of emotions, too ambivalent to compose

Despite it all, we still walk with the world
Don't miss your train like I did
Wheels against steel, a deafening silence
As the train, along with you, disappeared into the distance


Whatever happens next, only time will tell.

All the same,

I wish you well.
