Echo of Regret

by Liam 

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.

  1. 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.
