What would you say if you knew?

Conversations & poetry with Camille Barr

Camille Barr reading the poem What would you say if you knew from her poetry book Behind the facade

What would you say if you knew?

What would you say

if these were the last

words to pass between

the last moments to share

before everything changed

take these moments with care

for there are things

that we cannot know

precious moments pass quickly

into the memories

of either regrets

or cherished times,

so take the time

bite the tongue

embrace the heart

leave it on a note

that will play

sweetly for many

years to come

for you may not

know this will be…

the end

Camille Barr
