Regret Poem by Robert Mahoney

It's happening agan, can't think, can't speak, can't even take a breath
Brooding over things I knew I shouldn't do, but did them anyway
All the pain that burns in me is fueled by my regret
Suffering the consequence when price outweighs the gain

Not a day goes by without
Regrets burning inside and out
From the depths of shame cry out
Can somebody save me?

It's killing me again, each time I hear your name I long for death
Dwelling on the past trapped in this cycle it seems I can't escape
All the shame that eats at me feeds off my regrets
Seeing now the sacrifice was much too great too make

Not a day goes by without
Regrets burning inside and out
From the depths of shame cry out
Can somebody save me?

Here I go again, throwing the good away
For what then did I make the sacrifice?
Nothing to show for the risks I take
Nothing to soften the pain
All I have left is deep-set regret
And all-encompassing shame

Not a day goes by without
Regrets burning inside and out
From the depths of shame cry out
Can somebody save me?

Wish I could turn back time, get back the trust I've broken
Wish I could turn back time, prevent this heart from breaking
Hw could I move on when I'm stuck in my mistakes
