Contemplation

Moments lost, time seems wasted -
Can I recover what has not been?
Should I wait, or cut my losses?
This hopelessness I will not win.

Can I know, truly know for sure -
What was really meant to be?
Or was it never meant to be at all -
And not meant for me to see?

Like a scared cat, you sprinted -
What happened to all that bravery?
Courage being indeed your strength -
Did you think it to be slavery?

Confused, I let it all go -
Down to the tiniest last string;
Lost for any of the reasons -
Accepting the heartache it brings.

Still in a haze of all the whys -
I now turn and walk away;
Leaving you to your choices -
With nothing left to say.
