her shadows of regret burns this hole-
in her- body and soul.her -
she was drunk and alone
creating a liquid cut in a hole, of her.
her shadows of regret duplicating her, mind.
pushing through a boozed wound-
the screaming, the crying heard
as a baby is in view.
she’s running towards someone, not her.
her eyes of joy and blood-
her childhood as a red brick house.
THE SHADOWS OF REGRET
her shadows of regret are there-
she was swinging on the swingset,
wind catching her, and
howling at her.
a scream came out as her eyes filled with a disfigured heart,
eyes failing- towards the end.
her regrets of not seeing but
seeing -
the lies and pain as she was taken back to her sandcastle home-
the waves of her pain was muted by controlled regrets.
the shadows of hers were there
drunkenly, muted.
