Woke up this morning,
Dragged myself to the kitchen.
Poured a lukewarm cup of coffee,
And slumped my shoulders over it.
Lost myself in my thoughts:
The chances never taken,
The dreams never realized,
All the times I was mistaken.
As tears warm up my coffee,
Wrapped in self-pity I wonder:
The broken marriages,
The wasted time,
The wrong paths.
I miss my child,
The one I’ll never have.
