He Is Full of Regret
he is full of regret and remorse
of course –
regret cannot change time
or time machine bought
solace,
can be readily bought
he picks over the days
neglecting the truth
except the type –
that attacks the core
that is something you cannot fight
that is one stubborn door
he is full of regret and remorse
better late than never
i remember getting no umbrella
in the stormy weather
just storm clouds a-plenty
all this regret and remorse
i hope they are not empty
James Garratt – Sunday 16th November 2008
