Regrets In Life

Innocent I was, twelve years ago,
Playing under the warm rays of the sun,
Obeying rules, I always follow,
Still I was just a kid, having fun. 

Ecstatic I was, ten years before,
I went to school though it was a bore,
I met my friends, started to socialize,
I grew up eventually, learned to be wise. 

Confused I was, six years ago,
A different kind of me started to show,
Life thoroughly fell in front of me,
It was hard because of shallow insecurities. 

How in love I was, three years then,
My heart found a pair heaven has sent,
I thought it was, I was so happy,
To stay in his sturdy arms, never lonely. 


Hurting I was, a year has passed,
Chains of our love started to rust,
Melancholy filled my dreading soul,
Broken to pieces, hiding behind fragile walls. 

Contented I am though I’m regretting,
You, our memories, all that we shared,
People think of me differently because of you,
How could I erase the past when I know I loved you?
