I said too much again
played my hand
far too soon
took that step
right off the cliff
and here I am
staring up
at smoldering remains
of hopes and dreams
that never should have been
nothing ventured
nothing gained
so they say
but who are they?
have they ever
felt the sting
of abject failure?
have they ever
been shot down
so far, so fast?
have they ever
known the silence
of connections lost?
could they look me
in the eye
and tell me I’m better
without you?
