Regret will knot you intestines together,
***** by *****.
Regret will make you want to reach into your brain and pull out the memory of what happened five minutes ago because
it just
won’t
stop
playing
like a broken record in your head.
Regret will make you want to disappear so you don’t have to face the consequences of what you did so impulsively on that one small day that seems so huge now.
Regret will rip your day or your month apart,
Piece by piece,
And then, regret will soften.
It will stop feeling so harsh.
The pain will dissolve.
You won’t doubt everything you do anymore.
Stop saying
“if only…”
“if only…”
“if only…”
And start saying
“I did…”
“I lived…”
“I survived…”

- Regret will crush you,
and then evaporate, just like that.
