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

Congratulations! Brimming with regret, but I like the progression: “My callow heart pushed you away I finally grew up after you left me”✅
Wooohooooo congratulations on your win! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
This was relatable. Well written. I especially felt the "I buried myself under diffident debris And thought of things I didn't say" Excellent poem.
Unspoken words can feel so heavy
I felt this. The way it circles back on itself really works, that looping regret you can’t quite outrun. Well I can't anyways. Good stuff.
