Regret Companion| Poem

At ninety
Lamenting,

I was waiting
For the future

You curse life
Resent life
That brought you here

You waited
The right time
Perfect moment
Suitable soul
To find you

That waiting_
Becomes your misery ending

You lived in a cocoon
Face masked
At every chance

Disguise of introvert
Hiding
You hoped
Someone to find you

Hope without movement
Is just a slow collapse

Make it happen
Make that mistake

Worry later

If consequences cut deep
The next will be better

Dangerous to live
Waiting
On someone else

The hopeless eternity
Will crush you
Into mountains
You never imagined
You could become

Do not wait

Not for the right time.
Not for the right person.

Move—
Before regret
Becomes your only companion
