boundaries

You said we needed boundaries,

but by then it was much too late.

We started with lines left undrawn;

things were surrendered to fate.

How can we try not to cross beyond

barriers already left far behind?

You're trying to set new borders

that are simply too hard to define.

We've already fallen far past the ledge;

do you really think we can go back?

Or are you only pretending to try

to get us back on track?
