Mistake
There...
I've said it
I've made a mistake
Thinking the grass
is greener on the
other side...
It's not
Regret...
Fills every part
of me
overwhelming my
thoughts
Not a moment
passes during the
day
when I don't tell
myself...
You fool
What have you done?
The choice...
I've made the wrong
one
it echoes in my
mind
I'm forced
to watch each day
unfold
to merely a shadow
of what it could
have been
Filled with unfamiliarity
and contempt for
myself
for placing my life
in shackles
Going in a direction
I don't want to
follow
Wishing I were
Where I was
When I left!
