In retrospect, I regret this choice.
Years ago, I made it.
And years have passed.
My heart is beating, still fast.
I am no way closer,
I'm yet to have closure.
All the boring bits aside.
In you, I am trusting to confide.
'twas a longer journey than usual.
so I summoned a supernatural.
Puny desires on my mind so I stooped to this.
Didn’t think about the toll, I made hollow promises.
Smothered my craving and I wished to doze off.
In my sweet dreams, I rode a tiny giraffe.
Started out really small, my verses are expanding
Oxymoronic hell is so cold yet I am burning
Toll paying is so near, I’m only feeling fear
My judgement is so clouded, I cannot steer clear.
In retrospect, I regret this choice.
Years ago, I made it.
I wish I had found the right night.
A kinder sprite would have fought off my plight.
Rather, I got to meet the troll.
No way out, now I gotta pay the toll.
I wish I had found the right night.
My spirit would have been just right.
