BrokenEchoes

Take a moment and look around See where we are Think back to where we started We have come so far We have done so much We have helped so many We have had wins and losses Good days and bad Days when I fell, and you helped me stand Days when we supported each other Navigating rocky terrain Days when we lost our way And drifted along together for a time I would not have made it this far If you were not with me I am thankful we are making this journey together

  “I have slowly become tangled Just a knot of unfulfilled expectations That I can’t figure out how to untie” She stared out the window as she spoke The bus was nearly empty But I could tell these words weren’t meant for me She continued… “I have let down everyone I know I’ve handed out disappointment like business cards Like fliers at an airport Like cake at an office party” She uttered these thoughts with palpable regret She had disappointed herself as well This was evident The bus slowed to a stop and she got off I don’t know if she was on the phone talking to someone Talking to herself Talking to the night I’ve never seen her again I still think of her sometimes When I disappoint someone,  Or someone disappoints me I hope, wherever she is,  That things have gotten better for her
