Some Day.

I heard your voice again,

for the first time in quite a while...

How's your brother?

Your dad okay?

Your step-mam?

 

I hope you're having a good life

I'm trying to..

Thanks for asking..

You been up to much lately?

Me? nah, just writing and reading..

The usual.

 

How's your friends?

You got anything planned for your birthday?

Only 3 days left to go,

then you hit the big 20

 

I hope you have a good birthday,

should be fun.

I would get you something

but I have no money,

I will send you a simple text?

Maybe push for a phone call?

 

That's if you want to talk to me?

I don't blame you if you wouldn't want to.

 

I'm sorry for everything I have ever done.

I wish I could go back in time and make it all better.

But I can't. I'm not magic.

 

I hope you don't miss me too much.

I'm not worth a single thought.

I made your life hell.

All because of my stupid mind.

I told you I wasn't worth your time.

 

You sohuld have listened.

Would have made your life a hell of a lot easier.

None of this would have happened.

We may still have even been friends.

 

I'm off now, I may walk past you again some day.

Stop and chat again? If you like.

I wouldn't object.

 

A hug? okay,

You still hug so tight,

like you don't want me to leave.

But, like everything in my life,

You have to leave,

loosen your grip and walk away.

 

 

I may see you again some day.

There's a lot of pain and self-doubt, even self hatred reflected here. I think it's something common to almost everyone at some point, and you've captured the way we torture ourselves with this negativity really well. I especially liked the hope expressed in the last line. Nicely written.
