Regret Hurts
Regret, how it hurts.
Doesn’t matter how many times I wish you were back, you’ll never come back.
You’re gone, and went in the worst way there was in my opinion.
I cried and I sobbed when I heard the news, we all did.
We had a chance to know, a chance to save you.
But we were too oblivious to the letter before it’s too late.
They were awful, vile creatures from the woodworks,
And all I can do is pray that they get their karma.
I said horrible things, In a moment of apprehension,
From what my mother went through as a child.
But I should’ve never blamed you,
You were just a child yourself.
I had so many things to say,
So many times to say “I love you”
But I’m too late.
Now all I can is sit and talk to your headstone,
Wishing I said everything before I was too late.
