Standing in fallout now, its plain to see the clouds.
Directly in the spotlight, yet hidden in the shrouds.
Its so easy to head the warning when anticipating the cause
You knew you could have staved this fate, with a simple thought, a pause.
Its always too late when you finally see the damage you inflict.
It took me walking away forever before the consequences clicked.
The aftermath is apparent now, the prognosis for us is bleak.
All it took to save this love was just a thought before you'd speak.

Written in a ten minute span, not worth the sleep lost.
