Down Down it Takes You

Regret is a lot like hope,

Drags you down, paralyzed,

Falling down the same slope,

Dreams had, unrealized,

Back in time you in vain grope,

Stare back when, hypnotized.

i wrote you

twice before you fell quiet,

and in each small fist of meaning,

i could not say enough.

you pressed your heartbeat

to my fingertips.

i let it falter.
