Unfinished Business

Note: this was written in two phases, the first section was written ages ago and i unearthed the word doc today. The last two lines were added then.

what’s in a word

if not meant in earnest

where’s the promise

if it’s broken again

if truth is an enigma wrapped up in a riddle

why do we strive

if we do not gain

if you get what you ask for

does it satisfy

keep asking

and the refusals pile up

where the hell was i going with this

can’t remember but it sounds like rot
