Remorse

I didn’t realize

What I had said until it was said

Until I saw the shock in your eyes

The pain in your words

The hurt in your voice

If I could take it back

If I could reverse time

If I could unsay thoughtless words

If I could think before I speak

If I could do all those things

I would do it

Empty Bubbles

Delicate dreams

Fragile and free

Float on air

In their vulnerability

And when all is quiet

I realize

All I’ve ever done

Is blow empty bubbles

To no one there
