Regret

every morning
a new day to forget
to close the hole
gaping in the depths
of the heart
each night
a time to remember
as sleep alludes
festering the wound
so much time spent
just to be cast aside
and never to be
looked back upon
stuck
stuck
never to break free
from the hold
that face has
on me
bringing me to my knees
in prayer
to move on
for that face
to stop haunting
my every dream
at the time I would have done anything
to not let go
now the biggest mistake
will never leave me alone
regret
of something
that so much time
was wasted
and never meant
to be
to go back
and never have
let my heart
be taken hold
by someone who never
cared at all
while I cared too much
