the words to tell you disappear

maybe it's just you
or it's me
with my thoughts that
replay every sentence over and over
it was always my fault.

a step back
in the wrong direction
i scream, wanting more
and wanting nothing
you made your choice.

you smiled bright
surrounded by what matters
which was all you
family comes first
and here i stand.

i shouldn't expect more than
a smile hiding regrets
and an apology you never should've given
and fleeing feet
wishing to rewind time.

perhaps
before it's too late, i'll know
you didn't mean it.
