Circumstance Words

I snipped the string

With steel scissors

And watched them

Float away

They weren’t all bad

But that’s 

The way it goes

So

Sorry

If you got caught

In the cross hairs

Of a war

You didn't ask for

And didn't even understand

It was never my plan

To leave like this

To walk away

And stay

Gone, as though you don’t exist

But sometimes life is 

Something

That even the best of intentions

Just cannot remedy

So remember if you want

If you must

Just

Do it in the quiet of your mind

Where you can find

Some peace

For you and me

And what we could’ve been

Love is always alive

But even blood can’t help but thin

So think

Nothing of the past

Of the last few years

Just know

You’re here

In my heart

Safe

Even if

You never see

My face
