Regret
Is such a beast.
I want to befriend it
and tame it
to be no more,
than my pet.
My pet Regret.
He may have bit you
the other day.
I am sorry about that.
It\’s wild but not used
to being set free.
I thought I had it leashed.
It\’s such a beast…
But it couldn\’t consume
the light shared
When at one time we dared,
To be quite nicely paired.
All in mythical made up places that
we called our own,
when we were,
in each other ,
calling it all
our home.
So drag it along
or set it all free.
It\’s now that we
May figure out
Just how to be,
Integrity kept,
With that pet Regret,
And you and me.
No agendas set,
Only please no more
Of this beastly Regret.
We cannot be as we were,
But who said
it is the only way
To be you and me.
If you carry me forward,
May it be as we are,
Without threat, nor worry,
Nor obligation or outlandish concerns.
And Regret leashed or set free
to the beyond
Far from that which is
Now you,
And now me.
