Regret!
Regret!
What do I learn?
When the world shifts
And someone's gone,
Leaving a void
Their absence lingers,
A ghost in the air,
Unnoticed, unheard,
Until it dawns...
The wave crashes down,
Remorse takes hold,
and Sadness seeps in
Like a cold wind blows.
Barren land,
Dug up, untended,
Seeds of regret,
Sprout and then wilt.
Thoughts, a storm,
Washing me over,
Promises unspoken,
Neglect unaddressed.
Death, they say,
Makes us wake up,
But the dreams fade,
And I'm lost again.
But can't I learn?
Can't I break free?
Live differently,
Embrace the change
Life, I implore you,
Let the lesson last,
Not just fleeting promises,
But genuine change.
The cycle repeats,
But hope remains.
To live better,
And remember…
