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 a 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.
