Don't be so certain of what's left at hand



I'm tearing up every page



So eloquently put but misconstrued



We never stood a chance





Waiting on others to finally discover



It's just an empty space that binds us



To the world, to everything we've ever asked for ourselves





Our promises best unkept have already found us



And all the while we still claimed sanity





These lasting words took the best of us and tore our lives apart



My final fear was the first of every choice that I regret



Life takes away all the rest of what had given clarity



Too late, never replace what's left, it's all taken for granted





I won't underestimate the damage



So far, everything is unappealing



And all I feel is that the worst to come is right around the bend



My only hope is to reverse what's done and suffer consequence





This is more than a just reward



This is more than I bargained for



This is more than what I thought was in store
