How do you reconcile with the past?

Do you strike it down with an arrow as if you’re an archer on the hunt?

Or do you approach it like a cat on the prowl for some fresh meat?

I ask because I’m standing on this precipice, tears streaming down my face, as I recall all these things I cannot change.

The future smacked me in the face.

I bled out on the pavement as I stared up at a blank ceiling.

No one came to save me.

I called, but no one came.

I waited.

No one arrived in time.
