Knots

The spaces in between

Carry the memories of what might have been

Seeping up through the cracks

Reminding you there is no way back

On that road you travelled

Perhaps everything was meant to unravel

Just as it did

And as you sit here now

Seeing how your mind made of it all

A mixed up ball of string

Sometimes you are highjacked

By the complexity of everything

Is there anyway to stop these tears from falling

As the night comes calling

With whispers of failure

That tie you into knots

And can you take the truth

Of lessons learned

And stop the backward staring

Plugging newspaper in the cracks

While you remember

That life is very far from over

And every new day

Brings a new chance

To start again

And find a way

To make the best of everything
