Rage of Regret

In the blaze of passion, I rushed to decide,
Chasing fleeting joy, with impatience as my guide.
In a moment of greed, I reached for the prize,
Now all that I treasured is lost in the lies.

Happiness once vibrant, is now a shadowed ghost,
What could have been glorious, I mourn the most.
I sprinted through moments, blinded by the thrill,
Now silence surrounds me, a void that can’t fill.

How could I falter, how could I stray,
From the calm of the journey to this reckless fray?
Each heartbeat is a reminder of choices unmade,
Regret seethes within me, in darkness, it’s laid.

If only I’d lingered, if only I’d paused,
To savour the sweetness before it was lost.
Now I’m left grappling with anger and pain,
For chasing a moment, I’ve lost the real gain.

In the wreckage of joy, I scream to the sky,
A storm of fury, a bitter goodbye.
What once brought me bliss is now a cruel jest,
In my rush for the light, I failed to invest.
