I could list a million reasons why
Point out every flaw, every misstep
Paint a vivid image
Of where everything went wrong,
But what's the use in that?
What good comes from point out
Your mistake--
Would that not point out my own...
A compassion wells up inside
And I understand why
So there's no reason to state the obvious--
No reason to drag some one
Who's already down.
The conflict of emotion
Battling the turn of events
Under the pleading of heavy hearts,
To overlook the failure
In favor of potential...
