Regret

Danica Emersleben 1991 (SA)

Regret.,
Its like an anchor around my neck
Dragging me down
Sinking further and further

Thought i had it together
You so far
Yet still in control

Im at war with myself
Time is ticking
You fading away

I have no answers
I fear
I hope
I suffer

Im in a pit of despair
Im in turmoil

The further u go
The deeper i drown

How will this unfold.....
Both of us at the bottom
Both of us lose

The anker wont loosen its grip
One last glance
There you are,
Throwing the anker

About this poem
