A breath in order to relish the thought
Momentaneous pause, to ease the transaction
As it takes place and obscures one's past without a trace
Once, I was told, out of kindness and necessity I figure
For my actions raised doubt and generated excessive awkwardness
No longer a general, tactful subtracted to solution
An human that boasts epic feat, furthermore shows no fear
Is but a beast and a fool whose flinging onward shall lead to demise
Not short of obstacles defeated, his achievements vast, his process fast
It is not the manor that thumps the disaster of collapse
Alas, pray tell who dares defy the elegance of this wooden shack
As it bends and gently favors the breeze as greeting
No longer an incoming confrontation, conflict overcome, peace.
As of late, sleep comes by rather..well, late!
And I seem to find my appetite exhausted
My limps weak, my sanity feeble.
Afraid, I assume
that I came to miss someone's face, now a faint presence
Whose lines I cannot quite define
Was it easier to confront, Now, what I left behind?
Short for words, none raise to the occasion
I bow myself excused of reason
And bow stepping backwards to the nearest exit
Afraid still for I made yet another mistake
Afraid still for those the roads untraveled
That much harder, alas that much more worthwhile.
