Things were said
Words were thrown
Guilt was shared
Apologies; unspoken
If the pain of the past
Could be undone
If the tears that were cried
Would not have fallen
Things of wonder
Things of joy
Things of love
Can't be born from the ashes
Try as we might
Struggle, fall
Nothing can undo
Waste wishes on the stars
Late night cries
Afternoon muses
Sleepless dreams
Of the way things should have been
Don't bother to try
Don't try to change
Don't change the past
The past will only bother
Change can't be done
Adaptation; impossible
Don't prepare for the wounds
Instead learn from the scars
