Not Yet

It was you who messed up my plans
Because you showed me what I am
And I couldn’t understand
Where I went wrong.

Now I have to ask directions
Because I made the wrong connections
And I haven’t got a clue
Where I belong.

I see things I used to try
But now I can’t imagine why
I’ve forgotten how to cry
Or change my mind.

I cannot escape the past
Because I wanted it to last
But the future came to fast
To give me time.

Memories cannot be severed
But nothing lasts forever
So I must and will endeavour
To forget.

I’ll forget the airs and graces
Re-arrange and fill the spaces
It may look like I’ve been beaten
But, No! Not yet!
