regret

 

unknown intentions –

uncertainty contained within a smile –

underlying meaning,

mis-understood…

 

unsure of your motivation,

i stumble with words;

how are you?

(crazy?)

where have you been? (put – or merely stayed away?)

 

carelessly i open the door –

once more –

effortlessly –

let you in

(some bridges should be burned but i’ve misplaced the matches)

and suddenly – the realization of what i’ve done…

 

impulse control – disabled.

judgement filter – removed.

chaos – old nemesis –

standing in the doorway –

no escape –

(the cycle begins again…)
