Regrets

the things i always regret
are the only things i cant forget.
play over in my mind at night
to numb my thoughts, and loose my sight.

its over now so i shouldnt remember
but no fire can burn them, so they stay as an ember.
to haunt my past and force to remind
every kiss every touch every minute of time.

nothing washes off what i used to be
so im left at the mercy of memories.
