Break

I just can't seem
to break this bad habit
of letting people down.

All around me the light
fades and the
shadows dance until
I'm left in a puddle of nothing.

I'm just not who I used to be
not where I thought
my path would lead
and no amount of tape can fix this
damaged thing I have become.

We all break at some point
I just figured I would
last a bit longer
than I have.
