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.
