Eternal Regret

No more poems
Of the good old times,
Just aging truths
And forgotten rhymes.

I knew it would work
Just the day before,
But these broken dreams
Won't fit anymore.

Beaten I stood
Still broken I stand,
I just couldn't see
The time was at hand.

Who knows where
Our paths could of lead,
Left now cold and vacant
Since you chose him instead.

Opportunity missed;
Slipped through my fingers
With eternal regret
Forever I linger.
