We woke up and set out for our day
Did we kiss goodbye?
Did we say Have a good day?
Did we do anything different?
When we left home, did something break?
Did we know it would be the last time?
Would we have acted differently?
Would we have been able to change?
If we had to find the point, the breaking point
Could we? Would we want to?
There was a moment that forever changed
There was a time before
The time when life was our journey
Our hopes and dreams leading the way
When did that first impact happen
When did the damage start to radiate
When did the cracks grow to divides
When was pain too great to handle
When did the fear take over
Fear of failure
Fear of disappointment
Fear of resentment
Fear of loss
Fear of life
Some might think I knew that day
Some might think I had a plan
Some might say things I won’t imagine
Some might never know why
Some might never care
Everyone made assumptions
Everyone made judgments
Everyone would be wrong
Everyone would be cruel
Everyone would shift blame
It was never you
It was never just one
It was never what anyone thought
It was never what you assumed
Weakness and fear drove a wedge
Pain from depths not understood
Damage that surfaced but stayed in the dark
Invisible in the light
Invisible in life
What could have been, but never was
What life could have built, but never got a chance
What time could have taught, but never passed
What could have been tomorrow, but was left in yesterday
