I’d forgotten how fleeting and ephemeral
some moments and some people can be
Maybe that alone is what you were meant for
To be so sure of something I could rely on
to have it vanish helplessly into nothing
serves to remind me that all I can rely on
is that which is inside me all along
As broken and backwards as it seems
to someone that tries to see the good in the world
that’s the only lesson left to draw on
that sometimes even beauty and truth
can in a heartbeat turn ugly and cold
and all you can do is keep going
