Bitter Eulogy
He never had a dollar
or a nickel more than you
but you hated him just the same
for what you couldn't do
He was your only brother
He was your only friend
But you just held your grudges
Till he met his end.
Now he's gone and you lament
as though your heart is broken
and all the words you loved to say
You'd wish you'd never spoken.
People won't forgive your words
they don't believe your lies
tuck away your performance
Just go dry your eyes.

Post a CommentRegrets -- difficult to live with sometimes. Well written.
Unfortunately, this seems life's biggest regret, the things we didn't say. Reminds us to keep our "I Love Yous" up to date.
