Trap

How did we get here?

You used to come and find me just to talk

Now I’m thanking lucky stars for a day without your glare

I’ll never understand how it all broke down

But you know what? Maybe I’m just not meant to know

Maybe we’re just too broken in our own ways

For us to have ever had anything meaningful

Too similar, yet too different, in ways I can’t explain

All I know is I’ve spent far too much mental capacity

Running all that happened around my head

It’s time I let it go much like I’m sure you’ve line since done

It just feels like such a waste of something with potential

But then again it’s not the first time something beautiful

Has been left to die through missteps and misunderstandings

So chalk it up to another failed experiment

An attempt to feel something that wasn’t meant to be

Never has it been in my abilities

To know and understand every event

All I can do is live and learn the lessons

And hope if there’s a next time

That I might find a way

In all that came before that moment

To avoid the trap we fell into
