SHADOWS OF REGRET.
Oh friend,
Here I am, lost in the shadows I’ve cast,
Words I never meant to wound,
Now haunt me like ghosts,
Each syllable a dagger,
Piercing through the fragile bond we shared.
You said you feel discouraged,
And my heart shatters at the thought,
For I never wanted to be the cause of your pain.
I loved you with every breath,
Yet I turned my love into hurt,
My actions, reckless,
Now leave me drowning in sorrow,
A hollow shell of who I was,
Wondering if I’ve lost you forever,
This weight on my chest, unbearable,
As tears blur my vision,
I ache for the warmth of our laughter.
Every moment we shared feels like a distant dream,
A bittersweet memory wrapped in regret,
I wish I could turn back time,
To rewrite the hurt, to erase the scars,
But I’m trapped in this darkness,
Yearning for the light we once had,
And all I can do is whisper into the void,
I’m sorry, my friend, I’m so deeply sorry.
Now I wander through the echoes of our past,
Each step heavy with the burden of my mistakes,
I see your smile in the corners of my mind,
A haunting reminder of what I’ve lost,
And I’m left here, alone with my sorrow,
Wishing for a chance to make it right,
To hold your hand and mend what’s broken,
But all I can do is drown in this regret.
In the silence, I scream your name,
A desperate plea for forgiveness,
But the shadows swallow my cries,
And I’m left with this aching void,
Longing for the friendship we once cherished,
A flicker of hope in the darkness,
I promise to change, to be better,
If only you’d let me back into your heart.
