I should have said all

#I_should_have_said_all
when I decided to walk out of your life, not that I had any option but  situation beyond levels of my reach and explanation, I so wished to made sense of my leaving, at least say enough to fill all the questions that put holes to your heart and soul, at least left you with something to hold on to, just to fill my absence, to your life

I should have said all, at least admitted to the tearing wound inside me, the love, which we conceived the day we met, possibilities and hopes our first kiss assured me and thoughts and dreams that filled my mind whenever I thought of you, a future I told you about, though it sounded wishful and of fantasy

the truth was that, you mattered more than you could ever imagined, yet circumstances took decisions, out of our control and that remains unquestioned, though painful,  I could never learned to survive without the cord my heart sourced its life from, which was you, never imagined nor dreamed of your absence to this world without you by my side

I lost a life tht lived inside me,the day I called quits, a life which gave my soul a stand, my hopes and dreams that came to life because that life in me, I too ceased to live, though none realized that, I died joy you love, a smile that connected to my heart and soul, which your presence in me carried, this world felt cold and empty, dangerous and scary, all you changed with your presence,  I wish to have said all

Alison A Smith nee Howarth September 7, 2026 at 9:13 PM This free-verse piece carries a deeply confessional, unguarded voice, fitting its subject of departure without closure. The repeated line, “I should have said all,” works as a mournful refrain, gathering the speaker’s guilt, love, and unresolved grief into one persistent ache. Its long, breathless sentences mirror the overwhelming rush of thoughts that often follows a painful separation. The poem’s strongest emotional thread is the sense that leaving was not a lack of love, but a loss endured by Poetic Ink MorepjeKO September 7, 2026 at 9:59 PM Thank you Alison...life can force one to take decisions we are not ready to take...stay blessed
