Things I Did Not Say

It’s a myriad out there and it’s hard to get through
Without upsetting people: People who care.
And perhaps it’s difficult, conveying thankfulness.
Things from the past: The good words I’ve not said
Too embarrassed to say perhaps,
The gratitude I’d not shown. If only people knew.
Someday it would be nice to make someone happy.
Someday it would be nice to make someone happy.
There’s the irony- and it seems to me the way it goes:
The one’s we love are the ones we hurt the most.
