"All the things I've wanted to say..."

By The Savage Gentleman

All the things I’ve wanted to say but never did.
Took to the grave with lips having never
parted, now stiff as the coffin nails used
to seal this box.

All the things I’ve wanted to say but never did.
Long lost in the forever winds, only to be
whispered as the autumn leaves fall from grace.

All the things I’ve wanted to say but never did.
With only this blanket of regret to lay
upon me to keep these cold bones warm
deep beneath the mother moon.

All the things I’ve never said!
