Powerless

you never know how much your words
could cut deep into someone
never thought it would be you
never thought a sharp edged attitude with a hint of softness
could hurt so deep
the real people know
...couldn't even hurt a fly if I tried
but it's not trying that did it
not willing to do it
not willing to say it...
that I...
...
.
powerless
like on the eve on a virgin's honeymoon
what is thee poor gyal supposed to do
you can't replace pain
and you can't say:
" i want that old, untouched thing back"
because someone once told me...
time only moves in one direction
and for that
one is powerless here
Here at the crossroads of empathy
and it feels like roles have been switched
lord knows karma already came after thee...
so either forgive, forget, regret,
or relapse..
but don't go back in time...
oh dear..
