Life won't wait



(Source: Flickr / inhiu, via blua)

You can make a list, throw everything on that "to do," 

But no one will wait for you. 

Finish each step, and plot your course with care. 

When you turn around no one will be there. 

Hang on too long to relationships that don't work, 

or worse imagine ones that never were. 

It will hit you that moment when in one deep breath you get it,

  that the list will never end.

You've put your life on hold, and

waited too long.

 Choices have stolen dreams you thought would always be there. 

Imagined relationships will become clear, you are on your own.

You and your list of checked off task are your longest relationship. 

Try and crandle those in your arms. 

Do they look like you? Maybe have your mother's nose?

Nope, didn't think so.

No Wait...

I know you.  

You know me, remember?

That stuff you told me, I still hear it.  

It has latched into my internal dialogue. 

How are you walking away? 

Fist bloody from clenching can't reach out to you.

I see you, and I stay still.

You are moving on?

My knees are weak and tremble.

I am falling.

Strength, where are you?

I tell myself to let go.

Turn away.

Addictions are real.
