In the shadows of my mind
It lingers
The mistakes I made, the pain it brings
Regret, a heavy burden that I carry
Unable to erase, unable to bury
Each day it haunts me, whispers in my ear
Reminding me of what I cannot steer
The past, a cruel and unforgiving beast
Leaving me stranded, unable to find peace
If only I could turn back time
Undo the wrongs, erase the crime
But alas, I am trapped in this cycle of sorrow
Fated to relive each regret, each tomorrow
I yearn to break free, to start anew
But the past clings to me like a ghost, it’s true
No matter how hard I try to forget
The memories remain a constant threat
So I accept my fate, the scars I bear
Knowing that I can never repair
For I am bound to a past I cannot delete
A prisoner of my own undoing, defeated
