I Am Regret

I am regret

coating your soul

crushing weight on

struggling torso,

blackened remorse.

You are mine.

It’s too late

To fling me O

Hurt

The world is asleep

A dire tune and

Moments loops

Only one that sees

My mind

Is me

Emotions fumes

Affections burst

Hot anguish

Solidifying disgust

What have I done?

Baby Brother

Shivering

On his front porch

Swollen heart

A fading torch

Silent

On his death bed

I kiss my baby brother's brow

Words I couldn't say till now,

"I love you..."

Morning sickness

Still being in love with you,

Nine months later,

I'm pregnant with regret

Carrying false hope in my stomach

She Pleads

maggots lick her dark secrets

and disappear into sadness.

she can't run from illusions

and plagues follow her close behind...

beehives swarm her mind,

making babies in her thoughts.

clinging

to

regret

is

like

clinging

to

a 

ball

of

solid

ice - 

you

can 

try

letting

it

melt

in

your

hand,

or

you

can 

simply

toss

the

little

fucker

Remorse

the regret is as tar

coating his insides

like mucus,

a disease that

adapts to time,

stays fresh, and moist,

breathes into his mind

with stale breath,

yesterday's ghost reflected.

A daily reminder of regret and guilt and self loathing

In a box. In a corner. In a cluttered room. Sits the ashes of the love I held at bay.

a lesson learned

it's only after your fingertips burn

that you realize

you're better off wishing from afar—

there's a higher chance lightning will strike you

when you stretch to touch the stars
