Regret

This I am all to familiar with…Regret
I have experienced it on levels
The points of idiocy
The points of taunting, torturing
The points of pushing a person, a love
Regret is one thing I am too familiar with

There are things I regret
There are things that haunt me
There are people I wish to make amends for
There are things I wish I could fix
Things I wish I had of done and not have done

I regret what I didn’t do
What I didn’t say to my father
What I didn’t get to do with him
I regret not being at his funeral
But mostly, I regret trying not to forget him

I regret the things I have done too
The things I did to this girl
People would say I was only young
But I regret the names I called her
I regret only putting hate to her
I regret the torture I made her endure
I wish I never called her “stich face”


I have experienced regret
But regret is the one thing that tears you inside
This one thing I am familiar with
I am ashamed of
Because I regret not being strong enough
To resist the pain and suffering of regret
But I know one thing about regret
You never learn from regret.
