All the Things I Should Have Said

Of all the things I should have said,
I guess I should have said one more.
Of all the things I should have said,

I should have said one less.

I love you,

I hate this,

I wish we didn't fight.

You're intelligent,

Way more than me.

Strike me down,

With all of your angelic light.

I should have told you,

Not merely that you came from Heaven,

But also that I saw the origins of the things you said,

Showed that you came from Hell,

That I saw that those things were thrown upon you,

By the demons that stalk the dark,

Meant to drag you down.

I should have told you,

That I saw you rise past your demons,

That you need not be afraid,

Even if they try to scare you,

They hold no power over you.

I should have told you,

All of the things I ever thought,

I should have confided in you more,

I should have, I should have, I didn't.

I wish I had, but I didn't and now you are poised to leave.

I hope I haven't burned my last chance,

But I know I probably have.
