Life sentence

It’s easy to feel ashamed of the things I have done

There are so many things I should have done differently but I’d only choose to change one.

I imagine what your face would look like, what your favorite toy would be.

I wonder if you’d be sleeping through the night.

Would you smile in your sleep as you curl up with a blanket you’d hold so tight?

An invisible wound that sometimes is too scary to tell.

A life sentence in hell.
