ONE STORY RHYME AFTER TIME

Murder by Retrospection

I have lived just once
The outcomes sombre
The choices made with zeal
Couldn't have asked for a better start
Maybe that's where the problems lie
The truth is fleeting
Intentions misread
Paralysis emerges
As the mistakes of the past
Dissuade from actions of the present
Different outcome?
Hope is a deadly addiction
But the memories don't fade
The reality is a daily reminder
Looking back will kill me
Looking forward should heal me
But I'm stuck in the now
And there is no worse feeling
Than that of self pity and the realisation
That all that was hoped for
Will never be a reality
Murder by retrospection
