One Broken Step

Broken minds full of Regret
One step away from the life that he left
For a mistake that he kept 
Wondering how worse could it get
As quite as it might be
Worlds could never arrest
Guilt that was built inside his chest
Reminded him of the person that he met
His reflection that took his mind to death
Scared of his own actions, yet
He took the same step
Enjoying a moment that he kept 
As a reminder of Regret
