denial

Hanging     lifeless     vagrant     lovelorn
dreaming     wishing     hoping     fawning     crying
 
 
 
 
.regret.
 
 
     if
ONLY     I had known then…
 
 
but that is how it goes I spose.
 
 
but then I can’t really say that I even know now –
the story is missing some pages.
 
 
 
     if
ONLY     I knew now…
because I would have,     I could have,     I should have,
 
I didn’t.
 
 
 
Stupid,     Careless,     Fearful,     and the list goes on . …
 
relentless repetition of the action of denial.
