Regret
That thing you can't forget
That you'd give anything to erase
To misplace
The peace you chase but cannot catch
A guilt so complete, there is no match
The memory stays
Over and over it replays
You will never be the same
Like you were before the horror came
You live in misery
This secret torture will always be
Knowing you didn't prevent
That sickening event
Your pounding heart
Is just a small part
There's so much more
A sinking gut, a head so sore
Fitful nights, very little sleep
At times you feel numb, at times you weep
Today, tomorrow, 'til the last day
It will not change or go away
There is no relief, this is all you get
