Lonely World of Regret
She cannot understand
why anyone would choose
a lifetime of regret,
to live a secret life
betraying his family and friends.
Destroying that barrier of trust
with those who have their backs,
to stroke an insecure ego
regardless of who gets hurt.
What a lonely world of regret
must live within his heart,
trapped in a cage like an animal
with no desire to climb out.
Sometimes you just have to distance yourself from people.
If they care, they'll notice.
If they don't, you'll know where you stand.

Genuine Regret
Remorseful feeling nagging at her mind
Eagerly hoping she can
Give a genuine apology
Ready to accept her penance
Expressing her heartfelt sorrow
Trying undo her mistakes.
