“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” Harriet Beecher Stowe
words are useless
even if there’s an urgency
guilt’s more of an expression
to show some sense of decency
time not well spent
is clothed by an excuse
a realization comes in late
after hearing the final news
tears maybe comforting
but they won’t erase the past
our conscience will jog our memory
of the most precious thing they asked
what’s the use of a remark
what’s the worth of our prayer
when it’s time to go for someone
and you have no time to spare
