Fallout 7/19/14

I have a tendency 

To torture myself 

With things I should 

Avoid. 

I seek out people

I should stay

Away from and 

I let situations that

Have no bearing 

On myself 

Become objects of 

Fixation. 

I see things I 

Shouldn't sometimes

And for that reason 

I have tried to 

Make someone I

Once cared greatly for

See the folly of the 

Choices of recent past

It matters not that I haven't 

Been wrong yet in my readings 

But people will do what they will

Be damned the consequences 

I just fear the enormity of the 

Fallout from this choice 

This decision that you've made

In spite of the warning 

You feel up your spine and 

In your gut

As you read these words.
