day 23

For today's prompt, I want you to write a poem of regret. Get creative with this one, but there should be some form of regret either expressed or hinted at (even if ever so slightly). You do NOT have to use the word "regret" in the poem, though it's fine if you do.

waste


the ache of error
a remorseful refrain
a little goes a long way
guilt and regret
self indulgent wasteful emotions
the past is done
bewailing our mistakes
does nothing to right them
learn from yesterday
forgive yourself
forget
