Poetry

I wish

I had the words that needed to be said, and when I spoke those very words, they would always be heeded.

For what I have to say is worth your time not just this once but every single time.

Because sooner or later, I won’t have much to say, and everything you wish I said or didn’t say won’t matter anymore, for I will be long gone.

And maybe then you will regret it or not, and I’m okay with that for now because your downfall will not be mine in the end.
