My Words

My words are the legacy,

Of a lifetimes regret,

The chances not taken,

And the mistakes that I let.

The stories remembered,

Are marked on a page,

The Ink dipped reflections,

Of a life spent backstage.

Tales of crossed lovers,

Of romance and pain,

Tales of the loneliness,

The fear and the blame.

Sensations of longing,

And yearning for more,

Reflections of darkness,

And the sunlight before,

*

My words are my legacy,

I leave them for you,

Guard them with care,

They will carry you through.
