Regret,
just stabbed me in the back
Denial,
got me too
Despair,
stared, confronted me
Patience,
always knew

Evidence,
speaks louder than any words
Accidents,
whispered ‘it’s all unheard’
Optimism
concluded ‘I’ve done my best’
Time
stormed out, committed theft

Stole definition
Stole the truth
Stole recognition
Times stealing you

Belief,
just made a smart remark
Mistake,
rebutted, a stab in the dark
Pain,
was hit
Faiths,
falling apart

Resistance,
calls
Disaster,
to a halt
Apology,
Screams out
its Miracle’s fault

Pressure,
continues to seep through cracks, while
Time,
is creeping round the back

Stealing honesty
Stealing soon
Stealing tragedy
Times stolen you
