once again

Random thoughts surfacing
As I watch them crumble
Helpless at the sidelines
Leaving scars, a fatal stroke
Marring the beauty that was

Why do I bother
When others do not

Why do I care
About such nonsense

Why do I feel
Anguish and despair
As you threw it all away

I see windows of opportunities
Flaring briefly in the light
Soon passing away, unnoticed
Leaving the stale air, of resentment

Knowing regret
For your sake, I hope you’re right.
