Thoughtless Words

They’ve always said,

Life reads like a book

I look forward at all the pages to come

Reread the chapters I’ve looked back on at least a thousand times

Some are foggy

Some feel as if I’ve only just turned the page



It’s like a rollercoaster

Only one way on, one way off

This ‘coaster I’ve been cruising

Just over a dozen years

It’s got to be finished sometime soon.



This chapter just doesn’t seem to want to end.

Can you see a way past the tragedy?

Can you read my thoughts?

Just like another open book?



I can see the twists and turns

Ominous, but all the same

I just can’t wait to leave the obstacles in the present.
