The Weight of an Unsaid Yes

Wishes crowded my thoughts
Things I would have done and said now weighs me
Loneliness becomes my dearest friend
A reckoner for the illusion I once dwell

I watch the clock from hence I sat
Wishing to turn back the hands of time
But the weight of an unsaid yes
Judged me, leaving no room for excuses

I had all it took to embrace chance
To say yes to the paths that lie before me
Just a little time I said, until there was none left
Except the weight of my guilt
