"Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out the woods yet?

Are we out of the woods yet?

Are we out of  the woods?"

***

It was like it was a mirror image of the past.

I remember something like this happening before and I can see it heading the same way.

Straight to the bottom of the cliff.

I cannot help but reflect and consider the what ifs.

And the maybes.

And the moments where I wish I could have changed many of things.

This is not what I intended.

This is not what I want.

I am trying to save this train wreck from disaster but the track is too hard not to follow.

We are Hansel and Gretel getting lost in the woods.

But I don't think we are smart enough to get out of this one.

***

Imagine if we could go back in time.

I don't want to dread or regret the past.

But the way you keep taking about it makes me feel like I made a mistake.

Like a did some huge injustice to the world.

It isn't just on me.

You called the shots with me.

You yelled: 'Action!'

Then we both whispered: 'Cut.'

Then it all stopped.

Because we had collided.

That fateful train wreck.

And now it is happening all over again.

"Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet?

Are we in the clear yet? 

In the clear yet?

Good.

ARE WE OUT OF THE WOODS?"
