Picking up the pieces from a life half-lived. Shoving away the dropped dreams that lay on the floor. Pacing the room where you lied to yourself again and again: Ashamed, you close the door; and you think to yourself, that there could've, should've been much, much more. And yet you continue to be on the side. In the backseat of your own life. You are regret personified and it's doubt that sits in the front that's taking you for a ride straight down the line to a grave with nothing written on the headstone. And before you know it you've lived out your life and now you've died with nothing to show, nobody that minds because you are all alone.

Regret personified.
