My Own Doing

October 5, 2020

There was a time when we were happy There weren't many other people with us But we didn't need anyone else We were happy to be together

But I wanted something else Some sense of freedom A false vision of a greener field Full of sunlight, but devoid of people

Then I got it, but it wasn't greener It was dark, and cold Everything was dead, so I ran back But it was too late; you were already gone

I'll wait for you Longing for you to return Wishing that I could bring you back But you can never return

The bridge back is gone I struck a match and destroyed it I knew what I was doing I watched from the other side as you walked away

You're gone because I pushed you away So what happens now Is my own doing And I deserve it
