You’ll regret

a poem by Teesha Guliana

Today
I sit and contemplate
I ponder over
All the things I could have done
If only
Only if
I wasn’t held by the throat
Tight
Leaving only enough air
To survive…

I can see the horror
Unfolding itself
Right in front of my eyes.

They say
If you see the future
You no longer enjoy your present.
But what if I tell you
No you’re wrong
No you’re just too selfish
For your own cunning needs.

You’ve held me back too long
Just too long
To last for an eternity
My soul will remember you
Till you regret
On your death bed…
