Please go slow

Slow down, slow down,
For I fear the path you're on, is wrong.
You are lying to yourself, this I know,
And so I say, "Please, go slow!"

You know where you want to go,
You know where you want to be,
But torn between your mind and heart,
I fear you have lost your path.

Lives are at stake!
You have the power, to make or break.
But where did the trust go, and the faith,
That today, we can't even be good mates.

I tried to stop you; I tried to show you,
You hear me, but you no longer listen.
And in vain, is my opinion.

One day this black cloud shall pass,
But I fear by then, you can only say, "Alas!”
