Wait

For Zack.

I wish things could have been different

If I was not me

If you were always you

If I had been old enough to see-

Wait.

 

Things could have been different

Reverse how my heartaches

With blue and brown watching

As time quickly breaks-

Wait.

 

We could have been different

Breathing your sorrow no more

Legs are shaking

As they enter that courtroom door-

Wait.

 

Our lives could have been different

I needed you to save me

If you had only let go

Then maybe-

Wait.

Author's Note

-sigh- Sometimes I just want to go back. To have been smarter. Wiser, like I am now. Then maybe I'd still be who I was. And not this thing, this shell. This walking sarcastic cynical thing. Friends say they love me, but if they had known who I really am, they'd love her instead.

Let me know what you thought of the poem -not the note right here- Please and thank you.

Ok, so the blue and brown watching time part, is a reference to eye color. But letting you know.

I think my poetry is really getting better. =)

Keep up the writing...you have talent. This is a heart breaking poem. Just even the scene of a courtroom divorce cuts deep for many. Thanks for entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

You frame this so perfectly, and your last word made me take a breath and pause at the end of each passage... So tender... So bittersweet... I look back on who I was, sometimes wonder what might have been... It too takes away my breath...

i really like this its great. and i understand what you mean, there's times i wish i could go back change what ive done,
i know i would be a different person than i am now, happier, better off,
but then if i was happier i wouldn't be writing...

This poem was really good. It has alot of emotion and a great meaning behind it. I feel the same way you do. I always wish i could start over and see what else my life could have been.
