stupid regrets haunt the
shadows of my room and
the cluttered crevasses of
my fractured froward heart

long night spent longing
for the light i do not have
made dark by ignoring
the light that i do have

stupid regret filled poet
bogged down in youthful
folly fondly looking back to
that which never was
