The Truth
In just one breath; it was that fast.
What was then, is now past.
The reasons are unknown;
I had no idea what went wrong.
I missed the opportunity to fix it;
I probably could not have if I tried.
Because by the time I took a second breath,
I felt like I had died,
I sit here in a fog, pondering those two minutes in time.
Trying to convince myself that this was all in my mind.
Reality will hit me...or maybe it won't.
The "what if's" and the "could haves";
the "should haves" and the "don'ts"
It is a cycle isn't it?
I guess the world had won.
I guess I should just accept the blame for all I have not done.
Sooner than later would be better for me.
I accept the way that things are.....finally, I see.
