The Life that We Shared, Please C/C?
The Life that We Shared
He had all the answers in his youth,
I now regret how he scorned the truth.
His plan for life, no need for a plan,
this foolish act was how it began.
Not once he thought, life has no rewind,
looked past the future, then left it behind.
He raced the clock, no respecter of time,
sped past his youth, a blur was his prime.
Now life demands I pay all these debts.
Why must I face so many regrets.
I wish he had known me back then.
Oh, I wish he had known me back then.
Would he have listened, would he have cared?
Would it have helped this life that we shared?

If you have made it with 10-beat lines,you will not lack a syllable for rhythm.

This a most sincere poem....unusual in its` transparency;
I find no vital fault in either its` metre, its` meaning nor its` directness..
the examined life...who might know...our patterns are hard to resist.
A poem of some noble thought imho. One of the better of yours I`ve so far read
though I my have missed many?
.....My best compliments upon your giving voice to a delicate inner, unanswerable quest.

One of those age-old (or old-age) questions - if I had only known then what I know now; or, in the case of your poem, if he had only known then what you know now. Nicely done.
