Poem about a look and chance you never took

WORDS by CINDY---Katherine Lucinda Taylor---all of it.


Yesterday, so gone
And today, is fine
Brighter now.

Once jailed by hope
Once jailed by time
Once jailed by a look.
Once jailed by a chance that you never took.
Once jailed and waiting to be set free
That was me.

But today is brighter now.

Today is a chance.
Today is a guess.

Today is just a guess.

I can’t go back
And you can’t come to me.
And it’s not something done easily--
Letting go

Today is brighter now.

I can’t go back
And you can’t come to me.
And it’s not something done easily--
Letting go

A look.
A chance you never took.

Was like climbing a rope, losing your grip
And sliding all the way down.

You had the look.
You had the face.
And you were the place I wanted to be.
