Regrets.
Such a wasted emotion
For what can you do
About what is past.
Certainly you can choose to examine what happened
But objectively
In terms of cause and reaction
Explore what was said and done that led to x, y, z,
That way you can stop repeating
Your sins  
And choose a different path
A healthier way
For you
For me
For the universe

O' How those Summer Days seem so bright,

when your regrets reside near them

O' How I wish I
could've enjoyed

that
sunny day

But Instead
I
reminisced




on
the ones
I'd
lost

the suntrails cascade into the dusk’s curtains, freezing into the glaciers of the moon, kissing the awnings the dawn provides.

dead flowers turn out to be the same spot that buds bloom out of novelty-we’ve stopped picking them as much as we’ve stopped planting and making offerings out of their bouquets.

the gas tank was never filled up again, countless trips for love ditched.

these mattresses are made for and unmade by lovers expiring after a night;

the room has stopped reeking of regrets and leftover yearning.

though sometimes i still open the windows so as not to submerge in faded chances.

“but i could swear, your sadness still lingers.”

Colours of wine
course through my veins,


gérer ça chérie!
Je ne regrette rien.
Today, I woke up with regrets,
but no, don’t get me wrong.
I never regret meeting you,
a hectic mid-afternoon at the field.
I never regret the days we spent,
your arms held us close.
I never regret holding your hand,
fingers intertwined at all.
I never regret the intimacy,
your touch leaves marks.
I never regret it, no.
But I do regret
holding on to chances, I thought I got something to look forward to.
I regret being certain, I assumed
this entire book could be written.
I regret giving myself
but has only left me torn asunder.
I regret letting this happen,
I should have been wiser.
I regret not holding enough.
I regret not doing enough.
I regret not being enough.
Today, I woke up with regrets,
but no, I’m not blaming you.
After all, there’s no one to blame to but my expectations.
You did nothing wrong, baby
It’s my fault,
I broke my own heart.

Why do I feel so alone?
Why do I keep pushing away people?
I feel like I'm in an ocean drowning on my own
I feel like everything's going to crumble

Probably its my own fault
for building an iron wall encasing my soul
Is it dumb of me to think
That someone will destroy it in a blink

I realized it too late
I realized it too slow
now I feel alone because of my mistake
I feel like there's nowhere left for me to go

My eyelids close as I see you
tell me lies,laced in sugar that I fell
into for a blotch in time,
For the last time today.
irony,
the freedom of
putting off maturity
but my regrets remain in poetry

J'ai laissé l'océan de mes souvenirs
Emporter l'écume de mes regrets
