Regret

Regret: what
I didn't do
Could've done.

Choking in the ribbon of
remorse
I made myself
strangling me in every step I take
forward
not looking back.

The second-thoughts
Epimethsus at his work,
the epilouge of my own novel
not what I had planned.

Clinging to the last grasps of reality and plunging
into something
deeper than it should be.
Seeing what could've been changed
by a mere action,
is only thing
that could've stopped this whole thing
from ever happening.

Author notes

Idk what this is, I just let the words play on the page a little. It might need fixing up...

Should I expand the end?

    I agree with that the ribbon thing should be on because it's around your neck. OTHER then that I have no two cents. I think I like this one the most of anything you've written.

    great use of imagery. i liked this. but i would suggest that on the line "Choking in the ribbon of remorse", that you should change the "in" to "on". Other than that, nicely penned.
