in another life
maybe
we could still be friends
and i wouldn’t wonder what happens after
in another life
maybe you would have taken a breath
and thought about the words
leaving your mouth
in another life maybe i
could have steered everyone straight
before i turned
but i did have to put myself first.
and no one tells me where i’m going when i die.
no one buries me so deep in their own sorrows
that i fear i may not be able to pull away-
i am a shoulder to cry on
a belly ache from laughter
a listener and though my memory may fail me
i never forget those who were kind to me,
so in another life
maybe i could have forgiven you
and maybe i have
but i cannot forget
and i cannot pretend that i don’t hear your last words every time i think of hearing more.
