Regret

REGRET

As I walked through my memories, 
I saw the moon and the sun as they threw 
pity at me as if to say,
I warned you!

Tears! Tears!  
Those trickles of tears as they 
ran down my face, they asked
for help.

Please stop! It hurts so much, 
it was as if my heart was being daggered.
Lots and lots of pain enriched 
my soul. 

Tick Tock! says the clock as it ticked 
into my future..please take me
back to inception I pleaded. 

Perhaps I can right my wrongs 
On the boat of yesterday.

Tick tock! Says the clock 
without response as it kept 
ticking into 
my future.. 

Left without options I sailed on the 
boat with lessons and  regrets into 
my future.

Such a thought-provoking poem, Sheri. I do believe your ship has not been wrecked by the capricious winds of dismay. Excellent poem. Love and more love always.
