What was then isn't now




You stepped when needed
no shoulder; no ear
Distant; far-fetched
beyond belief...

without justification
spoke no excuse
Run sprint
where's the sweat?
worry about who?
wonder; ponder
not a thought of concern
just illusional...

The point of no return
panic; fret
runaway memory
no chasing time here...

now you stand on the edge
drinking; thinking
remembering the bright side
Now look i'm gone...
