Regret
to the piercing pain of regret
to the small voice gnawing at my head
like a parasite,
you made a corner your bed
you lived there shamelessly with no rent
you wanted to be me
and i let you
"you were so weak and i so stubborn"
you carved those words in my head
you weighed heavy and i carried you absentmidedly
like a fetus that never grows or ceases
oh how light was my head
