Filled With Regrets

Though the did is done
but reflecting back,I weep
weep!that I did wrong
Blinded by selfish motives
Lied to cover up my deeds.

sentence to five years
for a crime not committed...
heart filled with regrets

*A Tanka and a Senryu

We all live to learn, my friend, our lives is a concept not perfected before it is handed to us, therefore, life first is a lesson to learn how to survive on a personal level. Perfection will come as we learn to grow into the fullness of Love's script. Agape, Moses

Yes, this would cause great regret! Way to do the challenge!! (by the way, the first stanza sounds like a crime was committed but the second one means it didn't really happen?) Just wondering!!
