Regret and Reminiscence

Something so innocent

Bound to neglectful recklessness

Fate has no say in mistaken actions

Beautiful tragedies stem from miscommunication

And misfortune blossoms from assumed decency 

Accepting forced culpability doesnt make it burn any less

Acid rain still stills even when you're fully dressed

Evocations of thoughtless actions play like a record, over and over

My mind is forever broken by the mere thought of what could have been done

What should have been done

And I have yet to accept the full light of day in my window

Metaphorical darkness crowds the past light I didn't escape

They didn't escape

Fault is too weak of a word

Nothings ever strong enough

So I apologize, and weep instead

Everyone makes mistakes, but some are detrimental. This is how I feel about what I regret most in life.
