No Return

Some people say

“I wouldn’t go back for a million dollars,

I wouldn’t ever change a thing”

🚧🚧⚠️🚧🚧

Those people I can only believe

have built up slights as sins

They have climbed their

mountainous molehills

and laid waste to the happiness

that accomplishment can bring

🚧🚧⚠️🚧🚧

I would go back in

half a terrified heartbeat

even if it meant

coming out the worse for it.

The chance to run

The chance to fight

The chance to save another person

from the same dark plight

it's worth more than happiness,

it’s worth more than life.

🚧🚧⚠️🚧🚧

I would die on the vine

to save my brother’s life,

but I couldn’t, and I didn’t.

It isn’t that we wouldn’t

go back if we could

If you had the chance, I know

Every one of you actually would

🚧🚧⚠️🚧🚧

It’s a comfortable lie.

Something you say

to the people around you

so they know you aren’t always

looking behind

Ready to bolt at the

first sign of a fight

🚧🚧⚠️🚧🚧

Something you say to yourself

so you believe in the version of you

that you keep coming home to

at the end of every trialsome day
