Syntax Error

I know I should have stopped it

Any other day I know better

But now I'm laid out on the floor

I know I kind of dropped it

Should have written it down in a letter

But now there's one foot out the door

All the words in disarray

Lost in translation, errors just replaced

I didn't know that it was like that

Left field, way off of center and

Now there's just one great divide

There's no doubt, wait, strike that

All conversation is liminal

Oh well, oh hell at least I tried

All the thoughts I can't relay

Have no explanation reflectors display

Spell check, streamline, clarify

Cut, copied, pasted and erased it

But I replace it

All my research summarized

Paraphrased, erased and then deleted

Now I'm defeated

Good intentions gone astray

Locked in frustration

From lines in decay
