a moment ago:
I was born,
gasped my first
lungful of air.
a moment ago:
I took my first steps,
uttered my first words.
a moment ago:
I realised I could
disagree
with what I was told to know.
a moment ago:
I began to doubt
my own hypotheses.
a moment ago:
I loved you
with every sense
and every emotion.
a moment ago:
you rejected that love,
casting me to despair.
a moment ago:
I realised I could never trust
those who feigned to care.
a moment ago:
I left this life
to its bitter devices.
a moment ago:
you expressed regret.
now the moment has passed ...
