Regret

Regret is the thing you feel when the heart is in despair 
That pensive mood when you feel nothing but the fear 
Regret is in the human soul it never leaves your side 
It's what haunts both dreams and life
Passed on from generation to generation
It's beneath all the lies
Sometimes it's like a familiar friend 
Reminding us of the knowable past again
How can you get passed all the regrets in your life?
I know not, because mine are still alive.
