Missed Moments

There are poems in my head
That shall never be read

There are tears in the light
That will never be shed

There are cries in the night
That shall never be heard
There are pauses in my words

From the Emotions
That choke my throat
There are moments
When my heart lays open
Because it's best to let
Open wounds breathe

As my eyes close
Just for a moment
And my breath grows fast
Just for a second
When I wish I had said what I wanted to say
But the moment has already gone away
And I'm just remembering
A missed moment

-Aria Montgomery
