The Warning

There has been a warning
That I have ignored
Lost track of all the times
I’ve watched everything unfold
A million times
I must have thought
It’s not, it’s not
It’s not my problem
Flags on the sidelines
Wave in distress
Won’t let me forget
I’m overwhelmed by forgiveness
A million times
I must have thought
It’s not, it’s not
It’s not my problem
Why did you even bother?
Why did you even try?
Neglect fact until it becomes fiction
I can’t feel
Couldn’t feel it
Even when the rain began to fall
I am lost
In another sea of thought
Where the water burns my flesh
I can’t feel
Couldn’t feel it
Even when the rain began to fall
I am lost
In another sea of thought
Where the water burns my flesh
Weighing. Numbing
Sinking. Burning
There has been a warning
That I have ignored
Lost track of all the times
I’ve watched everything unfold
