Pain in the Words

Pain in the words
Bounced off the page
Smacked me in the face
Much too much later

It’s not too late
It’s not too late
It’s not too late
It’s not too late

But what if it is?
….Then it is…..

You kept saying
“If this is all there is,
Is it enough?”

And you foolishly said
Yes… though now
It doesn’t feel like it is
It feels like I want more

Pain in the words
Bounced off the page
Smacked me in the face
Much too much later
