You Could Have

left dormant, and useless, trying to pry yourself from memories
so many years
but what are years?
what are memories?
swirling
swirling
swirling

until you are able to heal

“When it comes the hour
where you are alone
and she has left you so hungry
with nothing left to eat but your words,
Remember
You could have
But 
You
Didn’t.”
