In the quiet echoes of the night, I find
The shadows of the choices left behind
A heart once bold, now hushed and still
Cradles whispers of regret against its will

The paths unwalked, the words unsaid
Haunt the corridors within my head
Beneath the stars, I seek to mend
The fragments of a tale that will not end

Each sunrise brings a promise new
Yet shadows linger, as shadows do
In the light of day, they softly fade
But return with dusk, where memories are made

Regret, a silent, constant friend
Walks beside me, until the end
Teaching lessons, soft and clear
In the language only the heart can hear
