"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." C.S. Lewis

The Doing and Undoing
Is there hope
In building a life
From scraps
And broken dreams
It is possible
To keep playing the same scene
Over and over
While everyone else moves
Farther and farther
Away
Are there possibilities?
In a life of questioning
You're my other half
But you can't fix anything
In being together in this thing
But having our own journeys
So different
So distinct
In all the puddles
And all the oceans
A oneness
And loneliness
In hoping that a few bad decisions
Didn't destroy everything
Undoing the course of my own life
And painting it will lonely nights
Wondering if he's really staying late for a meeting
In all the fear and confusion
The "I'll be damned if I ever let it happen again"
Only to jade myself out of another happy ending
I don't fear doing
I fear not being able to undo
It's not the wedding
It's the part when I regret ever getting married
And even worse
When you feel the same way about me
