Regrets
Regrets
Regrets hit hard
And run deep
Regrets will make
The tears from you eyes
Forever seep
Regrets are made
To remind you that
Into your past
You will always have to peek
When all you really want
Is to put them all to sleep
You want them to settle
Yet all around your head they creep
Regrets can plague you
And haunt you non stop
Taking away your sanity
Drop by irrational drop
Regrets play off your fears
Cause way too many tears
The time you go through it
All the wasted years
You let go by
You scream
But no one hears
You cry
But whose there to even try
To start understanding
The emotions you are going through
The only one who
Truly sees this is you
Regrets are never saying
What should’ve been said
To him and for that it’s the remembering
That you dread
Then saying to much
Regrets are losing
That certain special someones touch
A flood or rush
Of never ending unhappiness of such
Reminders of better times
Regrets are the first thing
You think of upon waking
You go through your day faking
About being okay
Regrets are the last thing
You think about before slumber
Leaves you feeling somber
Regrets yes I have many
Regrets have taken control
Thank God for my family and friends
Thank hold on, catch my fall and pull me back
Regrets cause me to lack
The self confidence, the skills needed
To on my own find my way back
Hopefully some day soon
I will no longer be in this gloom
Then I could put them to rest
And move on, forgive myself
For my past for which
I can longer change, it’s already written
My time would be better spent
With having no regrets
That would be a miracle
Which would be heaven sent
