New beginnings

And you know there's no point
in recriminations
and justifications

and

obsessing over
the ramifications,
and pontificating
over the sad truth of it all
The past dwells in the past
(and there it should remain)


At the crux of the matter
At the heart of its downfall
are the words
it could have, should have
been

Step away from this sick cycle carousel,
today's a brand new day.
