Wishful

Wishful thinking. 

Better off drinking. 

Better off smoking. 

Could have. 

Should have. 

Never did. 

Seems like it

What a mess. 

What a waste.

never

trying to hurt me. 

Things happen. 

Things change. 

You couldn't help it. 

You couldn't stop it.

Then my life could

have been

different. 

Could have been

maybe. 

Should have been

maybe. 

The cookie crumbled. 

The toast burned. 

Life is a big lesson

that you can only

Hope to learn.
