Aftermath

We're not alright,
we're not okay,
it's not gonna be
better tomorrow.
Things won't make any more sense
in the light of day--
perhaps less than they did
at midnight last night
when the path was clear,
and the only way
to go
was up.

No,
we're past that point now,
past the point of no return--
bridges burned,
and now we have to learn
to deal
with the aftermath.

For every action there is
[energy cannot be]
an equal and opposite reaction
[created or destroyed]

So now tell me...

was it worth it?
