Regrets.

It's an awful feeling.
The helplessness.
The mourning.
The deep mourning.
No one can ease my pain.
Tears flow.
Open tears.
Silent, secret, tears.
The ache.
Oh I wish.
Why?
If only, I could turn back time.
Yes, I would do things differently.
I had given it much thought, waited, yet still made the wrong decisions.
Yet some things, I did, thinking I was doing the best.
Wrong decision!
How was I to know?
I didn't know how things would turn out.
They say you live and learn.
I learnt.
Too late!
It has changed my life forever.
After many years the tears, stopped.
The ache, stopped.
I am still sad.
I can't go back.
I suppose I am not alone.
Others have regrets too.
Your regrets are not the same as mine.
They will hurt just as much though.
There is NOTHING you or I can do about it.
All we can do is pass on our experience to others.
BUT will they LISTEN?
I didn't.
They won't.
I just have to live with all my regrets.
