upon reflection

she said she’d never do it
but sometimes people change
not for the better, sadly
maybe it’s just a phase

it lasted way too long, though
now she’s broken every rule
she’s lost the things that matter
to have and hold is ruined

one day she looked around her
saw nothing but despair
the celebration taking place
her life no longer there

you wanted time. you have it.
but what is there to do
when all you love is left behind
and you’re left with only you?
