Poem: I Would Have Loved You Sooner
I Would Have Loved You Sooner
I ranted and raved
and wailed at the intro to Wheel of Fortune
because that was our show.
It was 15 years
running from shadows,
trying frantically to escape the hurt
that merciless death left behind.
I face it now -
the piercing cut of sorrow,
trickling bitterness down cheeks
tense with pressures of life.
No longer that girl,
but had I known
our story’s woeful, bitter end,
I would’ve loved you sooner.
