Unresponsive

How you respond when the truth is out in the open is up to you 
sometimes staying quiet is louder than being out spoken 
No regrets when it comes to falling for someone 
it's not like you can pinpoint what will or won't happen 
it's never a smart move to make life changing decisions 
in that moment of passion. Whether you laugh now or cry later 
what you think is so secure can crumble in the instant 
for instance...you know what that person says to you? 
Who's to say they won't wake up one day and be ready to quit 
Last night I had a dream two of my cousins were shot 
one was dead and the other unresponsive 
I guess that's what I'll call this piece 
because when it's all said and done if it doesn't work out 
I can always chalk it up to karma
