So Far From Fine
by Sandy M. HumphreyI am so far from fine
I cant even see just
Stand on my tiptoes
Try to reach if I must
Seems like were falling
Into yesterdays sin
Traveling down roads
Where weve already been
Retracing steps where
We took a wrong turn
Lessons were taught
Yet never learned
Outside I smile
Is it all just a ruse
As you spin your half truths
To confound and confuse
Conversation is futile
The tapes on rewind
There is a déjà vu door
Cracked open in my mind
A crossroads ahead will
Your choice and mine
Leave us both feeling
So far from fine
