Regret

When all the smoke has cleared on battles either lost or won,

the downed and damned and damaged tallied in the aftermath,

as ever, Guilt turns to Remorse when all is said and done

and leaves Regret to walk alone down consequences path.

I feel the pull of sadness here, there is no winners in a battle when both sides have something to loose. Grats on this being featured on the homepage this week ;)
