how we mourn the things we tried to take

when they weren't ours to have


and how we dismiss and disdain all that's ours

because we failed in our attempt at robbery


we ignore our aspirations and mock our fates

while consequence with its fatal certainty


leave us empty of will and desire which would be

wonderful if we understood how free this loss makes us
