Tense

Tense

A way to be sure
to leave dirt visible on turned stones
one more chance to make things right

all they can say is...
what they say
what ever is done, can be forgiven

when a voice speaks up
it runs the risk of being over-shouted, shut down
or perhaps, it makes a huge difference

if something is never said,
it festers, burns, spreads
a disease called regret.
