The worst thing I ever did
was to think that I could solve someone else’s misery
In terrible hubris
I waded into her life
a life I myself had brought forth
I tried to change things
I tried to change her
The worst thing I ever did
was to rearrange her deck furniture
you know exactly what I am referencing
She is angry I shoved her into a lifeboat
The worst thing I ever did
was to blame the iceberg
or was it to board that ship at all
How do we end this
I have asked many times
yet the ship sailed long ago
her ruins lie in the deeps
what was is over
in real life
yet will never be ended
as long as the stories go on
regrets and their half lives
attach like burrs
The worst thing I ever did
was the last walk I took
along that hazardous path
as if anything that is over
could be undone.
