Regret

How does aging bring so much regret?

Regret for the words I failed to say.

Regret for the nouns and verbs

I should have never let leave my lips.

Regret for your too simple quips

I should have seen through to truth.

How does aging bring so much regret?

Regret for the actions I never set in motion.

Regret for the direction our travels went

As we hastily made decisions far from heaven sent.

Regret for the change I knew wasn’t okay

But for which I still couldn’t find another way.

How does aging bring so much regret?

Regret for what once was;

What now is;

And what can never be again.
