Things I Should've Done

 

Said no.

Hid my tears.

Gone alone.

Walked away.

Stopped talking.

Hugged you.

Told you I loved you.

Listened.

Forgave You.

Cried in your arms.

Said yes.

Short, I know. But... to the point, I hope. Thoughts?

How is it possible for you to sum up the story of our lives in such a short and simple poem...? "Walked away". Every single day (even now I'm kicking myself)...

Short? Yes. To the point? Let's say this... A master smith in Japan folding the steel of a katana ten thousand times, curving the blade just perfectly, and sharpening it to the point it could cut the fabric of the Universe Herself could not have made a finer point than this poem.

This is so simple and to the point, but so beautifully powerful and pulsing with a rainbow of intense emotions. It's gorgeous, I love it.

This may be short but it is full of meaning...a simple list of things that are truly important in life. I relate to this poem.

In so few word you create a complete story. Each line with purpose. A outstanding poem. Some decisions are more difficult then others.

this is so powerful. it means so much to me where I am at in my life. I wonder if all the things that I've wanted others to do, I should have been doing myself and maybe I wasn't. this is very profound and I DO like the shorter poems a lot.

OMG. Reminds me of a certain two 6th years... Ahaha.

I really like this one - and the shortness of it makes it even better.

it's hillarible, how when we're not looking for something, something finds us.
and then when we are looking for something, we never find it.
and then it's too late, already made the mistake.

Amen. Anyone with a human heart knows exactly what you're talking about and can empathize to a degree. I can more than I'd like. Sometimes the really short poems like this are really enjoyable - as they are in the case of this one. Do me one favor, though. Scrap the i in explanatory. :P
