Consequences

Struck void the will of intellect,
against such pondering, 
the injured spirit to protect. 
No tangled reminisce provides, 
Surcease to turnings 
of such tortured mind. 
Nor time-fogged recall 
that guide requires - 
So indelibly scored, Regret's cold ire.

And soul bereft of all hope of gain,
Forsakes Intention's road,
for one paved in self - disdain. 
And all the way,
the mocking laugher never fades.
'Sleep well now, in this bed you've made.'

Hello Gavin Lottering, when things do not turn ojt right we have to face the consequence of what happened. Have a nice day my friend.
