It Might Have Been

Matches struck ablaze in the backs of cavernous minds.
Memories on fire,
But not burning away.
Swamps of tears lie hidden and unused.

Most of all, the flickering projection.
Replaying, replaying, replaying,
What shouldn't have been
What might've been.

Echoing words bouncing around,
If only
If only
If only
It had been done differently.

The whisper of knowing
Now is too late,
Before was too early.
The past has already happened,
And it cannot be changed.

It cannot be changed.
