Regrets
~
We all have them
Some more than others
Some worse, some not so bad.
~
They all eat us alive just the same
Like maggots on a rotting corpse
I could relate that
To last time my dad called me
And I ignored it over something stupid
That's one more time I could have talked to you.
~
How could I have known
I'd get a call less than a week later
Stating you were dying
And they were reaching out to me
For the okay to pull the plug.
~
Fuck you for leaving me to make that choice.
Fuck me for missing that one last call.
~
I wonder what we would have talked about
More about how I'm getting into tarot?
Or maybe how the prison is still treating you like shit,
Maybe we'd reminisce on how we both really miss the girls.
~
I don't know
I think I'm missing you because it's Halloween season
And you loved Halloween.
Well I always miss you,
It's just predominantly heavier right now.
~
Still wish you were here
To see how much I've grown,
The things I've overcome...
You'd be proud.
Thanks for being my rock
Even when you're gone.

Congrats on top story! This makes me wonder if that's the smell I was smelling when these ants swarmed my kitchen one time... I knew I could smell them!
