Regret swelling like a stormy sea
Haunting the soul, a weight to be
Fears creep in, a darkening shroud
As remorse festers, a heavy cloud
In the depths of the heart, a battle waged
Goodness struggles to break through the cage
But regret's strong chains hold tight
Dragging the soul down, into endless night
A glimmer of hope flickers, a spark of light
Longing to pierce the darkness, to take flight
Yet regret's barrier stands firm and strong
A formidable foe, where sorrow belongs
The weight of regret crushes, a burden to bear
Eyes swollen shut, as the heart struggles to share
The pain of remorse, a soul sucking sea
Drowning in regret, searching for liberty
