Regrets

Regrets will never dissipate,

And always remain static in my mind

Regret is building a wall while someone

Continuously tries to knock it down

And eventually gives up, as you keep building

Regret is time wasted with someone you thought

You would spend the rest of your life with

Regret is questioning your existence because

Others see you as a consolation prize

Regret is never repairing a relationship due to

Your ignorance and apathy

Regrets is all the words I wish I’d never said

These regrets circulate my mind, as I

Acknowledge all the mistakes you’ll never forget

 

Regret is sitting in a boat where you have the

Power to sail away but a thunderstorm overcomes the boat

A wave of inadequacy and abandonment

Commitment and worthlessness

Guilt crashes upon my boat as I try to steer away

Regrets risk my safety and makes me believe I deserve this pain

The waves throw me overboard

As I sink into an ocean of the outline of a woman

Who appears composed but is falling apart at the seams

 

Regret is falling overboard

And feeling so worthless, I don’t save myself.
