Wasted
 

 
Wasted


bits of time drift past
colorless imitations
lost to dust and ash

And her soul bleeds, mourning the loss. Regrets spill in sad futility. Too late and too soon. Too afraid and too certain. Too jaded and too innocent. Too tired to hope, to believe, or to gather those collected pieces yesterday tossed away. And too ashamed to try... because she allowed it to be this way.

moments strewn, withered
brittle remnants, memories
wasted, so wasted
