The Regret

So I wish for these moments to blur
The regret of some unspoken words
While I dread another course of conversation
I will take refuge in silence, golden

So I wish for these hours to turn
The regret of a forgotten errand
While I spend another night for the day
It will never be the same again

So I wish for these days to fade
The regret of a touch undone
While I feel through a numbing vacuum
That peels my skin like a burn

So I wish for this life to end
The regret of wasting a friend
While I live a world of vultures
I will cherish us like an old treasure


P.S. This poem is an ode to one of my favorite movies "The Hours" which I think gloriously embodies the feeling of Regret, a feeling innate to every human.
