YOU WILL ALWAYS REGRET IT.

You will always regret it

Because there is always another way

Of going about things

And you are intelligent enough

To see the difference

And selfish enough not to admit

That you deserve better.

So why focus on what is in front of you

When you  overlook what is hidden?

There is always another side to it of course

There is always the bitterness and the resentment

For what has been missed out

At the end of a life’s journey

When it dawns upon you that

After all this is not

Where you intended to be.

Then you find out

That all the denials and all the negations

Where for a reason

And really make a lot of sense

With the added disappointment

That the past can be recalled

But never relived or resurrected.
