Poetry: What could have been

I mourn-for what could have been, but never shall be.
I mourn-for what the careless voices have stilled forever.
I mourn-for what might have been, but was crushed by life.
I mourn-for what was, and could have become, but was stilled.
I mourn-for what should have been, and did not happen.
I mourn-for what has become, and what is yet to be.

    Anger Sundown

    Lightning strikes as he's walking out the door
