Time's Wings

Regret

Deep and heavy hangs the weight
Of regret that's hard to abate
A shadow of what could have been
Lurking in the corners of my sin

The choices that I made back then
Haunt me still, the what ifs when
I wonder how life would have turned
Had I taken a different turn

The pain of regret cuts deep and true
A wound that never seems to subdue
The scars they last a lifetime long
A reminder of where I went wrong

And so I sit and ponder still
On the path that led me to this hill
Wishing I could turn back time
To rectify the choices of mine

But deep and painful is the regret I bear
For the things I can't undo nor repair
All I can do is learn from my past
And hope to make better choices that last.
