Bitter Memories

You stole a look at me.

I didn't think anything of it.

Now I wish you would look at me again.

You would play the helpless one.

I never came running

Now I wish you would call out to me once more.

You would laugh and your eyes would light up.

I guess I preferred the dark.

Now I wish you would light my way.

You would talk for hours about your day.

I never listened.

Now I wish I could hear your voice through this phone.

You have your way.

I'm still finding mine.

One thing is for certain.

These memories aren't too kind.

[Sapientiam]

There is such despair in the things you wish you could have done with this person. Regrets should not be pondered on because it restricts you from living life. I have countless regrets in life, most that are fairly small but still continue to torment me. They are not easy to let go, but time has passed. We can't stay in one place forever. That's just my thoughts on this poem. Still, this is very intriguing and quite beautiful. Well done!
