REGRET

A POEM I HAD TO WRITE FOR CLASS ABOUT EITHER A MEMORABLE SILENCE, OR A PERSON. I DID BOTH. IT'S ABOUT MY GRANDPA.

 

I should have taken your hand, When mom Placed it in mine.    I should have, At least, Touched you, One      Last              Time  I should have  Stopped them When they went at it, Yet again I should have told them Fighting Wasn’t how you’d want to Remember them. I should have cried When I needed to, Instead,  I held back. I should have, I should have. Now, I regret that.

I almost cried, because it is so true.

I will always regret not being there for you when your grandpa died. I know it's not an excuse, but I never really knew my grandfather except the stories my mom tells me about him once a year at most and the one time we visited him. I never knew just how close you were to your grandpa and I carry that guilt with me into my other friendships, too.
