And so it is

as we knew it would be

in just a matter of time

there’s no point now

in fighting the same small wars

though we both know we always will

just as we always have

it’s much easier to do than

admitting our failures and our shame

accepting our guilt and our blame

And giving in we

concede the ugly truth

of who we are, what we’ve become

angry children tossing words instead of rocks

breaking spirits, shattering dreams

loathe to accept the blame

pointing dirty fingers rather than

admitting our failures and

accepting defeat in our foolish game

And so it is

as we knew it would be

and finally admit at last

while we carelessly toss away

every dream we held together, every promise

never meant to be

it’s so much easier to do than

admitting our failures and our shame

accepting our guilt and our blame
