TOO MANY REGRETS

 

I toss and I turn – I’m awake now!

   I have to admit I’ve been here before –

Life’s regrets that I have suppressed

   Come knocking at my mind’s door!

 

Now my head is spinning with thoughts,

   And there is no way I can sleep!

Too many memories – too many regrets –

   Too much sadness that runs deep!

 

Guilt shows up when you least expect it,

   And for some reason it all the same –

Locked on our grid of years gone by

   The heartaches, the hurts, and pain!

 

I toss and I turn – I’m awake now!

I’m sad, but I always endure somehow.
