Imagine
what we could have been
if we had only
tried

Who in the world
gets to sit and watch
the sun go down
in their own back yard
light glistening on the sea
and their love go down
with every move
of the money market
just me
I guess

Ever word
you say
is a word
someone
somewhere
sometime
at the right time
could have
said
and has probably said
before

I don’t know who
I  should be
without you
come home
and teach me

I don’t love all of you
all of the time
who
in all honesty could
but sometimes
in our worst of times
I remember
and the remember loves
you still

Oddly
as we sit here
at the dying of another day
I remember little
except
the words we didn’t
say

I love everything about this
the opulence
is impressive
I love the deep lavish crimson
privilege
that surrounds us
if we fall
it will be on lush purple velvet
at least
that’s what we have been
led
to believe
