Residue of Regret

by Jenavia L G   Nov 7, 2023


In the depths of friendship, we took a fateful stride,
Ventured into uncharted territory, where regrets reside.
We crossed a line, led by curiosity's sway,
Now burdened with the aftermath, I search for a way.

Once, laughter and trust were the pillars we shared,
Bound by shared moments, a connection thoughtlessly bared.
But in our pursuit, passion tore us apart,
Leaving trails of regret etched deep in our hearts.

We should have remained as friends, loyal and strong,
For the flame of desire has now gone awry, all gone wrong.
Intimate moments have left our friendship shattered,
And now I grapple with remorse, my spirit tattered.

In the aftermath of our shattered bond,
I find myself reflecting on what went wrong.
We were friends for so long, shared laughs and trust,
But when we crossed the line, it all turned to dust.

I thought there was more to us, something deeper,
But you showed me otherwise, a heartbreaker.
When we became intimate, you used me for pleasure,
Leaving me hurt, doubting the value of our friendship's treasure.

I believed we could be more, that love was on the line,
But you chose other women, tossing me aside.
It hurts to realize that I was just a convenience to you,
A temporary satisfaction, easily replaced with someone new.

I can't deny the pain, the feelings of betrayal,
I deserve better, someone who won't derail.
So, I'm letting go of what we once had,
Moving on, finding strength to heal and be glad.

No longer will I hold onto the hopes we once held,
For it's clear now that our bond is forever felled.
I'm finding my worth, my value beyond this mess,
Releasing the ties, finding solace and happiness.

This text may seem poetic, though not overtly so,
But that's just the way my feelings tend to flow.
I don't want to rebuild what's been broken and lost,
I'm saying farewell, with a heavy heart but also exhaust.

So, goodbye to the friendship we once knew,
It's time for me to move on, find a love that's true.
I wish you well wherever life may lead,
But I won't let your actions define my self-esteem.

This is my goodbye, a closing of the chapter,
I'll cherish the memories, but from now on, I'll be the author.
Finding strength in what's to come, stepping into the unknown,
Leaving behind what hurt, in search of a love I've always known.
