Analysis of Fated To Go
Does trying to disprove
what I believe
make you feel better about what
you don’t...
Is your insecurity
crying out
that maybe I feel something
you won’t…
Does the depth of my commitment
bother you so
leaving you distant
fearful and alone…
Like a branch that’s now broken
swinging high in the tree
one strong gust
—and you're fated to go
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
