Regret


On your mark, get set Let's go, regret! Regret that you are here Regret that you are near Regret that time's no more That's what regret is for. Wish I had done this, Wish I had done that. Time is no friend And that is just that. Today is still here Tomorrow draws near. So hold loved ones close 'Cause they mean the most. The most to my heart, The most they impart. So treasure them now, For time's like a plow. Destroying the mind Where memories are stored. 'Til we're broken down Right to the core. Regret's like a cancer Eating away Destroying a little more Day after day. They say time Heals all wounds But I say they're lying. We all are just dying. Dying to leave 'Til we finally learn. Life is a sojourn With lessons to learn. Repeating some lessons Redoing some answers. 1.5.15 Copyright From A Poet's Heart
