Gone Too Far

we will not spiral down

i'll do whatever i can to stop that

three and a half years

of emotional rollercoasters

is enough to decide that some things

are worth the effort spent

finally it's a realisation

that dawned on both of us and

with enough effort and knowledge

of the past we don't need to follow

the path laid out by others

and it's gone too far

the words that guide us

take your voice away

and i guess we can still chastise

ourselves for taking too long to discover

what everybody else already knew

and all that was needed was the opening

of the blinkered eyes long enough to

register what was in front of us all along

i can't remember worse times

than when we were apart

we won't stumble

like we did before
