I could, I should,
I said I would,
but in the end
did not.
I might have done
if I’d been well
and hadn’t
lost the plot.
The things
I tell you now
I ought to have
already said.
But even though
I could and should
I didn’t
I just fled.
I could, I should,
I said I would,
but didn’t –
as you do.
I ought to
have tried harder
might have changed my life
for you.
I can and shall,
I say I will,
but if I don’t,
somehow,
I could, I should
and said I would,
I tried to
make you proud.
I might have done
things differently,
ought to have
had a go.
But somehow
out of can came can’t
and out of should
just no!
I could, I should,
I said I would
but in the end
did not.
I might have done
if I’d been well
and hadn’t
given up!
