Retrospect
Broken heart
Shattered in two.
Regrets a plenty
Attainments: few.
Hollow soul.
Heart broken
With loneliness.
Words left unspoken.
Sparks of lament
Remorse ablaze.
Charred wooden heart
In smoke-laden haze.
Deafening silence
Through thoughts unvoiced;
Flammable emotions,
Regretted choice
Stolen glances
That I can’t return.
Battles lost,
Lessons learned
Futile worry
And squandered sorrow-
Fear of what
Would unfold tomorrow.
Unsure motives;
Shrouded with doubt.
Traveling unknown,
Uncharted routes
To come to terms
And face this mess
Has not been easy,
I confess.
Without regret
I live today!
Free of resent
I can proudly say:
I’m free of your
Captivating disease.
I’m free to be
The girl I please!
Without you
I live better now-
I’ve faced my fears
And can recall:
I conquered my doubts
And got away
From the one who made
Me lose my say.
