Exceptional Fool

here's the one way road that you drove into the ground
the sacred stream that you managed to dam
what you said was lost
was never quite found
and both paths lead away from you
what a predictable end to what we knew
was better than nothing
I guess you have to settle
for something

thought this pretty good, maybe the last line could have been a little more cutting
liked it
smiffy

Sad succinct tale...of self-inflicted woe....Like the way you express your implications of a no-win scenario[line 5]...
Solid penning, Wes...
