I walked into a garden one day
Which didn't feel the same,
The flowers were in full bloom,
But the weather seemed to be strange.

It reminded me of the things I've done,
and the ones I've haven't done yet,
The words I haven't justified,
and the promises I haven't kept.

The paths that I left unraveled,
And the love I couldn't give,
The times I chose flight over fight,
When I was meant to be brave.

I didn't realise, lost in my plight,
When it began to rain,
I thought I might drown in my misery,
But this time I chose to stay sane.

When I returned back to my grave,
I realised why I felt lighter here,
As all my regrets were left behind,
which grew on me as flowers,
much brighter there.

To all the mortals out there,
Don't live holding regrets in your heart,
Coz you can't live joyfully,
When you feel you've been
wrong from the start.

Lost in Words

I walked into a garden one day
Which didn't feel the same,
The flowers were in full bloom,

To all the mortals out there,
Don't live holding regrets in your heart,
Coz you can't live joyfully,
