Could’ve Been <br />It would have never worked <br />Between you and me <br />For you know some deep secret <br />That I just can’t see <br /> <br />It would never have worked <br />In any time or land <br />For you always have life’s key <br />On person or in hand <br /> <br />It would have ended soon <br />With no good thing <br />For gifts of passion and love <br />Are ever in your being <br /> <br />It would have ended badly <br />With at least my heart <br />For slow though I am at times <br />I give it all once I start <br /> <br />It would have gone to quickly <br />With this understanding <br />For curiosity is good for a while <br />Continuous isn’t my thing <br /> <br />It would have been enjoyed <br />Though easily tarnish <br />Once it got down to the everyday <br />Building isn’t all bliss <br /> <br />It would have been very nice <br />Love and receive in turn <br />For a brief minute of our span <br />Warmed by passions burn <br /> <br />It would have but was very not <br />And there I see the end <br />With a shrug ‘n sigh I leave those <br />What might’ve could’ve been <br /> <br />By Ruth L.
