Consequence - Owen James Berry

Don't be mistaken
This is a consequence
Don't be so naïve
To assume distance
This is a consequence

You chose this
You planned this
You plotted each step
You bred this
You tainted it
The things that you kept

You shut out the good
You let in the bad
You silenced the warnings
You drifted off, mad

So good at doing
This thing that you do
And none is left now
To blame here but you

Don't be mistaken
This is a consequence
Don't be so naïve
To assume distance
This is a consequence

You must have wanted
To be alone
After all
It's an outcome you had known

You must have wanted
To be estranged
Seems most apppropriate
For one so deranged

There's no other path
As far as you can see
There's no other way
Now for you to be

Don't be so distanced
From your consequence
Don't forget that you
Created this circumstance

Accept the blame
You played the game

And lost
And lost

Assume your consequence

Place the blame
Squarely
Can go on
Barely

Assume your consequence
