Regret Poem by Anuj Tikku

Regret
The past often pop's into my present
Were they mistakes that I made
They seemed the right things to do at the time
The choices I made I now regret
My past and preset as they meet
I should not done the deed that I did
I should have been wiser more aware
But I was in no mood to listen or to care
As with the past is tied my future
So now where I stand should I regret
May be I should have done things differently I ask
How long in the glories of my past I can bask
No matter how many times I get it right
the regret of the past comes sweeping by
my cup is full of losses and gain
but past regret still causes me much pain
I wish at times I could stop the tides of time
May be if I had done things differently I could have stopped this crime
The thoughts of loves gone by
My youth in front of me as it fades away
Regret comes popping into my life and starts it's play
Defeats of the past, victories of the future all layed out
As with the pain of regret I begin to shout
Come yee angels take away my pain
As with my regret I have nothing to gain
Past, present, future all is alike
It's time to send regret packing on a bike………
