Beautiful Regret

Sleeping all day and
taping memories through the night,
stoked up the fire of feelings
he called regret.
Realising that the scream from across town
he heard at this time of the dark,
might just be for him,
reinforced melancholy.
He wrote on paper
how living with her was hard
and how he would give it
another try someday,
should he have the chance.
