Who speak to the soil

Even the dead can hear
The falsities spilled
From cunning mouths....

If only she knew
I tried my best
I was afraid of the outcome
I shut off
I shut down
I distanced myself to save myself
I grew cold
I regret
I didnât get her the cat nip
I didnât record her purrs
I still reach out to her
Her last cries haunt me

The freedom
The guilt

If only she had been there
I wouldnât have left
I wouldnât have said those things
I wouldnât have given up
But now Iâm confused
But now Iâm sad
But now gone
I couldâve waited
I couldâve told her
I couldâve been there for her
