there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.
Amid the clouded, alcoholic meanderings of a misguided, overbearing self grandiose mindset and a vain attempt to gather credibility through hedonistic themes… Umm It appears Charles did have a few moments of supreme clarity. Well Done, sir
Two truths in one poem...'there are worse things than being alone' and 'nothing worse than too late' So, too late is worse than being alone...almost contradictory. But, not if it expresses what I WISH for it to convey...there are worse things than being with the wrong person...but nothing...nothing compares to having missed out on the right one.

Copied this into a journal a decade ago and couldn't find it this morning when I thought about it. Thanks! !
