Regret\'s Heavy Weight

The weight of regret presses down on me 

A physical ache that\'s hard to breathe

I\'m lost in sorrow, unable to rise 

Consumed by the pain of regretful eyes

 

My own remorse is making me ill

A self-inflicted wound that refuses to heal 

The loss of trust, the shattered remains

All because of foolish mistakes and lingering pains

 

I\'m trapped in a cycle of guilt and woes

Longing for forgiveness, but unable to let go 

The silence is deafening, a scream in my soul 

A cry for redemption, a heart that\'s lost its goal 

 

I suffer in silence, though it is plain to see

The weight of regret is crushing me 

But I still hold on to hope\'s glimmering light

The chance to make amends, to heal the hurt of night 

 

Til you know you\'re forgiven, the hurt will remain

A constant reminder of the pain and the shame 

But with forgiveness come healing, a new dawn\'s rise 

A chance to start anew, to open tear-stained eyes
