Save You

Save You

I knew
this day
would come.
I knew
that this
would not
end well.
Yet I knew
that to alter
the course
would have caused
too many words
too many issues.
So
I let the world
play out,
knowing
each time
that I saw you,
that it might
be the last.


I
could not
save you.
There was
no way
to change
the circle
of others,
and, in turn,
you.
Then,
why is it
and I still feel
like I
let
you
down?
