Regret

in the back of my brain there lingers a thought
of the pain I’ve caused, of the havoc I’ve brought
it’s mumbling tones can be heard through my soul
of the guilt I’ve tossed, of the joy i stole

---

so i drink to sober up the dense discourse
a mean going voice, judging full force
if only it would shut it, silent for a second
the price i’d pay could not be reckoned

---

a silent voice, whispering a tattling tale
i drink and drink, to almost no avail
so hard is the truth, forget sticks and stones
for horrid nightmares won’t leave me alone
