Wind of Regret

Fading embers lay dormant
Till the wind of regret blows fervent
Wild emotions into flames burst
Merciless, unforgiving, unpleasant

Hidden memories lit up clear
Days, weeks, months, an year
They scream past in a frenzy
The good the bad and the ugly

Regret, regret ,
Might have been
Could have been
Should have been
Stop it, stop it!
Stop the wind of regret
And the flames will disappear
Peace and calm will reappear
