I walk the path I walked before,
I walk the path I walk once more.
The same old stones, the same old trees,
The same old whispers on the breeze.
I chose, I chose, and now it stays,
The weight of nights, the cost of days.
A word unsaid, a step not taken,
A silence left, a bond forsaken.
It comes again, it comes to claim,
It calls my soul, it speaks my name.
I turn to right, but I forget
Regret, reflect, and still, regret.
The clock resets, the hour chimes,
I live the moment countless times.
I see the choice, I see it clear,
And yet I fail, year after year.
I walk the path I walked before,
I walk the path I’ll walk once more.
The circle turns, the echoes call,
Regret, regret, it holds us all.
Yet in the dark, a light is shown,
Redemption waits where seeds are thrown.

This poem is a haunting and introspective exploration of the human experience, caught in a cycle of regret, longing, and the weight of choices made. The repetition of walking the same path serves as a powerful metaphor for the futility of trying to escape the consequences of our decisions. Yet, the poem offers a glimmer of hope in the final lines, suggesting that redemption and growth are possible, even in the darkest moments.
