Memory
Pictures in albums,
But I cannot hear your voice.
I so want to be mad at you,
Though I know you had no choice.
The memories plague me
As I lay here on my bed,
Of all the things I never did,
The things I never said.
I never said "I love you"
And, of course, it's too late now.
If I could do it all again
I'd win your love somehow.
I am truly sorry
For the memories we missed-
The love we never made,
The kisses never kissed.
Shawn, if you were here today
I'd open my heart wide,
But someone's turned the lights out-
And your love I've been denied.
I am truly sorry
For the memories unmade
For the hurts I heaped up on you
And the life too early stayed.
