Regret (is it really too late?)

It is like the Devil burning a
hole in my very core.
It is the pain of having acid
poured on an open, oozing wound.
It is real, and oh yes,
it hurts very, very much indeed.

Crying futilely at the
years that have passed.
Mourning for the good times
that will never again return.
I know how it feels and
I'm feeling it right now.

This is the sound of the
ticking clock, counting down
days, months and years off
our lives. Bringing me further
and further away from you-
can anyone hear this plea?

To grab hold of the chance to
make a new beginning,
to truly immerse oneself in
the experience of living.
Before it is too late, and everything
slips away, just one more moment please.

Can all these questions be answered,
can I finally ast away the
shadow of the glamourous past,
all all these shall just be a
really beautiful memory
encased in my glass heart forever.

Is this a miracle I'm feeling now,
am I going to burst from
the overwhelming feelings in me.
Can I finally move on,
can this be real,
can this not be too much like regret?
