Regret
steals away my life and loves and leaves me with only the shadows
Regret
feels like waking up to an unrequited pillow
looks like her slender fingers slipping around a door handle
colors my red-wrought thoughts
Regret
is when my eyes are untouched but my hands ruled by tempest
tastes like a slow sip of curdled milk
Regret
smells like unwashed bodies shining with the sweat of remembering
is the picture of a ring framed with hope but lost in the dust
Regret
looks like the lemon tinge of a barely born bruise I forget making
feels like a monstrous balloon in my head feeding on my broken promises
sounds like the bottomless silence after she hits the floor
Regret
is like an apology wearing away at the chains in my heart
