How many times do we take
something for granted
such as the flowers we admire
which a loved one has planted,
only then to view them
in a different light
once that loved one has forever
vanished from our sight.
How many friends do we now
choose to ignore,
who once we were on good terms
but now consider a bore,
do we really think we are better
like some obscure aristocrat,
only to look in the mirror
and realise we ain’t all that.
How many times will I have to
pick myself off the floor
after all the warnings I was given
which I chose to ignore,
time is running out
for me to put my house in order
and make amends for those relationships
which have grown colder.

Beautiful
