Too Little Too Much

 

Too many long nights

Too many lost days

Too many excuses

Too mottled the maze

 

Today is too soon

Tomorrow too late

Too far disconnected

Too fickle this fate

 

Too good and too bad

Too heavy the load

Too wide the expanse

Too narrow the road

 

Too separate the stars

Too distant the moon

Too tenuous the light

Too muted their tune

 

Too fragile the ethos

Too puzzling the signs

Too brittle the logic

Too hidden the mines

 

Too deep the hurt

Too scarred to soften

Too many blows thrown

Too many too often

 

Too easy the lies

Too little conviction

Too many the tries

Too much the addiction

 

Too close to breathe

Too far to touch

Too long to wait

Too little too much

​

but  . . . . . . . . . . . . .
