    oopsy-daisy

    if I'd have known better
    I'd have never laid eyes on you
    I would've diverted my attention
    averted my line of sight
    I'd have never even paid attention
    to anything that had to do
    with you
    I'd have run as far away
    as fast as my little legs could
    carry me
    anything to avoid
    the ache you left in my soul
    that you left for me
    to bear alone
    so you could laugh
    maybe feel a bit superior
    if I'd have only known
    I would've at least been prepared
    to bear the burden of you
    that weighs my heart so heavy
    it could be mistaken for stone
    and at least I would've buffed up
    so I wouldn't have to complain
    of being way too weary
    to lift my head
    much less my feet
    to trudge on
    without you

    Thank you, kindly.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
