Years of joy, love, pain, down to regret
Perhaps I took her for granted
Should have brought her flowers more
Stopped all the complaining
Showed her how I feel
Been there for her
Not just me
Too late
Gone

“Not just me” - powerful words spoken. 👍
Aw, it's so hard to look back sometimes. Emotional and honest work here - excellent! <3
Really a heartfelt poem.
I can relate to your poem. It was beautiful content.
That is so sad. Beautiful piece.
This was so poignant and emotional. Loved your Nonet!
Ouch...felt this one to my core, Andrew! Great job. Often hardest to look back and realise the mistakes we have made and how we could have repaired things.
