What Should Have Been

A Poem

Quiet lays its blanket on the world
Unaware, the sadness creeps inside
Taking hold from within
Taunting me with what could have been
What should have been

World without, an unimagined dream
The plot was written, the ending known
An unexpected twist
Jolting me from what could have been
What should have been

Endless days turn to endless nights
Fear rising a constant stream of tears
Pushed below the surface
Aching for what could have been
What should have been

Taunting me with what could have been
Jolting me from what could have been
Aching for what could have been
What should have been
What should have been
What should have been
