Oleta Howell Poem
The sun sets in the west as you walk out the door. I stand here unsure how I feel. Not sad
not happy, just a little numb. You’ve been my whole world for so long and now my whole
world just walked out the door and I don’t feel a thing. You turn and look at me the tear in
your eye hits me like a punch in the gut. You tell me you love me and I tell you the same is it
true or is it a lie we tell each other to ease the pain. I can’t tell. As you walk to your car I
close the door as I stand alone I here you drive away. As the sound of your car fades in the
distance. It hits me. Alone in the silence. There is no victory in this battle of hearts. Just the
lonely echo of what was and what can never be again.

Oleta Howell Poem
If I could change the past, would I stay on the same road? Or would I take a different path?
If I could change the past, would I tell the people I love I loved them one more time? Or let
the moment pass?
If I could change the past, would I have studied harder? Or would I still just get by?
If I could change the past, would I take for granted the life I have? Or would I live every day
to the fullest?
If I could change the past, would I have gone to the place where we first met? Or would I go
another direction?
If I could change the past, would I have told you I love you? Or let the words stay in my
heart?
If I could change the past, would I give you my heart and my love? Or would I hold it back
and never let you know?
If I could change the past, would I give up on our life together? Or would I still holed on to it
with all my might?
If I could change the past, would I forgive and try to forget? Or say never and turn away?
If I could change the past, would I say the words that hurt you so? Or would I hold them
back?
If I could change the past, would I pray more? Or just take God for granted.
The past is the past, and if we could change the past what use would there be in having a
future.
