what would I have said <br />if I had known what you were thinking? <br />courting the thought of suicide. <br />how did you lose hope so early in the race? <br />tell me the words you needed to hear. <br />or the kind of love you wanted me to give. <br />was your fate already spilled in the stars <br />and your blood on my heart <br />or did you never stand a chance? <br />throughout the years I’ve looked at all you’ve missed <br />and sometimes think to myself “what a pity” <br />and other times I envy you. <br />1-18-08 <br />jaw<br /><br />shannon wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-would-i-have-said-if-i-had-known/
