To Have Had One Last Conversation
written by: Emalisa Rose
I wish we’d have had
one last conversation.
I’d have told you those things
that concerned you
that I wasn’t yet privy to speak of,
needing some time to divulge of
the webbing of woes that fell over me.
I’d have surely confessed
had I known you would pass
from that wretched disease
on that night, last November.
You’d have gone to your grave
with a look of relief on your face
Mother dear.
