Never

I can never do it all again
knowing what I know
bid time return, be young again,
going with the flow.

My youthful days are behind me now
well spent and wasted both
if I could do it all again would
there be some growth?

Would I do it all differently
a second time around?
or would I throw away again
the only love I ever found?

I can never do it all again
because I have a chicken-heart
even with a second chance

I wouldn't know where to start.

Regrets can consume a person and weigh heavy on hearts and minds.
Your words tell a sorrowful story. 💛
