my mind is powerful, clever, cruel
swallowing me into its cavernous depths
it tells me that i am a fool
who is drowning in a sea of regrets
what can’t be rewritten or changed anew
festers deep inside my soul
as loud as a drum beat, it can’t be subdued
with razor teeth it consumes me whole
regret slips it claws underneath my skin
while water rushes down my throat
unable to breathe, my world is grim
eyes turn glassy before i can choke
lost to unforgiving depths below
is a girl i loved once, long ago
