only fools
can try to tame
we can try to blame
heartbreak
on time and circumstance
on the off chance that
turning clocks will renegotiate
the loss
but time is only the scribe
of Fate
circumstance the pen
that Fate fills with red ink
leaving us to think
only about the blood pumping
through shattered veins
thinking about losses and gains
and pain management
a whole life spent
hoping Fate will
changes its ways
always truly knowing
Fate will keep on going
exactly as it always has
