*regrets*

It burns. It starts in my chest, then follows to my head. Regret burns.

You can't help but feel the need to make amends with the person you hurt. Let alone making bad decisions. The damage is already done. Worrying won't change anything.

But there's this ache that won't go away. It keeps me up at night and makes me want to skip a whole day. It makes me uncomfortable in every single way.

You can try to convince yourself it's okay. Cause fools can be fooled even knowing the truth. And even for a brief second, believe me that you can get convinced. But then your own mind becomes your worst nightmare.

Because the ache, the burning, won't go away. And you're left locked up alone with your own thoughts. Left alone to remind you about the wrongs you've done and the mistakes you've made.

Although they are all lessons to learn from, and you become very wise, know that the burning doesn't stop. You just get used to it.
