![]() Regrets of an AddictA Poem by Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo
If today was my last day.
I only just realized, how much time I wasted away. Time just flew by. I cry, left wondering “why?” And now it’s too late, Today is the day I die. If I only had one more day. The things I would change. The words I would say. Apologies to make, And forgiveness to ask. Feelings never to be unmasked. Your love I’ll keep,I am but so weak. A wolf in the skin of a sheep. Sinister the sound; feeling my heart pound. I can taste it in my mouth. I can only blame myself. Nothing makes me happy, Then I found wealth. When I look in the mirror I stare into eyes that aren’t there. A penetrating emptiness leering right back. Infinite sadness,comes out in madness. This is my fault I guess… Regrets of bets, debts, and love lost. And this is the cost. A price too great for one man to pay, yet to spend your last minutes bargaining on your final day, sounds like something i would say… So many choices set out in life; who to be, how to be, Well, what about me? Can I choose my own destiny? Decisions turned to disaster of which I am the master. For too long I wished time would go faster, So I could be older. But, instead I grew colder then bolder. Till the first time I hold her. Come, rest your head on my shoulder. I hope you never get older. Why didn’t I stay sober? Decisions turn to disaster for which I am the master, over and over. No head to rest on my shoulder. I grow colder, bolder and older. Time goes by so fast, Another empty glass. Days to months, then years, they pass. Name your price. I swear i’ll pay. don't leave me here to bargain this way, On my final day. What could have I done? What should have I said? doesn't matter now, Im already dead. © 2014 Ntandoyenkosi Ngcobo |
