Bonkers in Poetry & Free Verse

Regret everything

Got my hands stained red now, just another letdown

Lookin in the mirror like this is what you get now

This is what I get now?

This is what you get when you burn another bridge and kill another friend

This what I get when I get it in my head

That nothing comes from love but another regret

It’s like I can’t help but to fuckin regress

Goin back in time just to make another mess

I’m thinking about the future now, less and less

Maybe me leaving would be for the best

I guess I’m always at war with my yesterday

I thought young and stupid was supposed to be a phase

Yet here I am wishin that I could fuckin take back

All the hurt and shame that I keep from fuckin way back

Handing out my hope like you can fuckin take that

on my way out just let me fuckin say that

Nothing is the same now, just another day now

Waiting for today just to get out of my way now

Holding out my hand like I need a little change now

Building up a debt that I’ll ever get to pay down

There’s a price to be paid for the wreckage that we cause

When we’re forced to sell to low losing all that we’ve got

So we scrape up the change that we can still find

Using it to buy just a little more time

Regret can build a home and set up in your mind

Stealing precious moments and derailing your life

Time is unrelenting you don’t get a receipt

There’s no taking back the moments you chose to deceive

Yet here I am wishin that I could fuckin take back

All the hurt and shame that I keep from fuckin way back

Handing out my hope like you can fuckin take that

on my way out just let me fuckin say that
