Unspoken
a Villanelle of Regret
I watched the night swallow the day
Forced to let the outcome be
And thought of things I didn't say
My whispered ruminating led me astray
I let insecurities consume me
And thought of things I didn't say
I felt undeserving of your warming rays
So inward I began to flee
I watched the night swallow the day
Fears and doubts came out to play
I buried myself under diffident debris
And thought of things I didn't say
Can no longer hold the truth at bay
Scales torn off and made to see
I watched the night swallow the day
My callow heart pushed you away
I finally grew up after you left me
I watched the night swallow the day
And thought of things I didn't say
