Regret

A brief moment in time, a single blink
For that lapse of thought there is consequence,
It feels as though I've started to sink
My guilt appeared then and every second since

I don't know what happened, how it got this far
I can't find my way back from this path
Someone will help me, but I don't who they are
And I'm still terrified I will incur their wrath

Why didn't I listen, why didn't i stop before
I couldn't consider the problems caused
Just had to let my treacherous heart soar
Now how I wish I had simply paused.

A/N- A friend of mine recently got into some life-changing trouble with her boyfriend, I wrote this from her point of view. Please r/r/c
