To the One Who Waited

The Three Letters to Decay is a poetry series I wrote on my procrastination.

To the One Who Waited

(The Apology)

I thought you’d bloom once I was sure, That time would come, that thought was pure.
I said, “Not now,” and let you starve,
Each plan a corpse I didn’t carve.

You could’ve built. You could’ve burned.
But all you got was time unturned.
And now I see, too late, too true,
The cost of all I didn’t do.

To future me: if you still breathe, Forgive the weight I chose to leave.
I won’t pretend it’s not too late.
But I will try to change that fate.
