Wish Poem by Rose Marie Cook

It still hurts
Day after day
Still causes pain
When I don't mean anything

I couldn't say
Those words to him
Couldn't tell him
How I felt

Like my soul
Was dying
Like my
Heart breaking

I didn't look him
In the eyes
Didn't say what
He needed to hear

Now all that's left
Is a guilty soul
Too much sadness
Too much fear

I should've told him
What I felt
Should've showed him
What he meant

I could've been the one
The one to his forever
The one that he could live for
But it's too late now

If I could go back I would
And change everything I could
Let him know how I feel
So suicide he never would
