Beyond Repair

--
One
He never had a future
He was only in third grade
Two
She had her whole life before her
Until that fateful day
Three
He could have been somebody
But he threw it all away
Four
Okay we get it now
Stop trying to explain.
But
Going backwards now
Back to number
Three
Why we need strangers
To say who we could be?
And two,
It was only once,
A stupid, stupid thing.
One
No one cared to explain
Until it was too late
So why now
Instead of then?
What's with the delay?
If we had been told sooner
This may not have taken place.

You could have saved our futures...
But, no.
You had to wait.
