Bri

In dedication to my best friend

She has a heart of gold

But bitterness made her cold

I never wanted it to be this way

But you don't see the outcome 

Until after all of your mistakes

There's no rewind

Can't go back in time

But if I could, I'd give you a second childhood

I'd do so much different

If I was wise when I was young

Maybe I wouldn't be sitting here, writing past my tear

Maybe we'd be closer as years grew us older 

Maybe it's too late to make up

For past mistakes

But I can promise you 

I won't treat you like I used to

I won't make the same mistakes

Bri, my heart aches and breaks 

I was once as venomous to you as a snake

Seven years old, trapped in a war zone

You never should have had to take bullets

Now I'm the one who lays awake 

Waiting for daybreak to ease my heartache

Past regrets suck - but can teach us lessons for today and commit vows to keep tomorrow. The key is - forgiveness! Poetically penned piece of confessions and emotions - good share ... :-)

Thanks so much :) I don't really like this one as much. I think it's choppy and has no theme but I didn't have my diary on me when I needed to vent so Writers cafe is my next go to! lol

these are fast, scrambled thoughts. I don't it doesn't flow in certain spots and the rhyme is kinda off. But what do you think..?
