Regrets

Another Spring and I still keep stumbling over 
past decisions. I keep drinking the same bitter 
rancid liquid full of memories. My heart continues 
to relive the past like a merry go round. My eyes like 
a CD keeps on playing pictures of her angel face

Walking along the sea shore with stinking seaweeds 
the sea has vomited and wishing I could vomit the pent 
up festering sores from my memories. Empty pockets 
where keys to her flat jingled now only lint can be found.
Sun beating down on me as if to remind me not to
linger too long.

My bare feet with sand between my toes remind me 
of walks with her. Why oh why do my ears still hear her
laughter after such a long time. Her soft voice was like 
tiny bells and her eyes used to twinkle like stars. Perhaps 
I should call and ask for forgiveness for my indiscretions

The other women meant nothing to me it was just one of 
those things that happened while I was drunk. I should call
her and explain again. Perhaps now she will take me back.  
Maybe if I got on my knees and cry she will feel sorry for me
