Regret, … such a sad word

Creates tears

Creates fears

But, … a word often heard

What does it really mean?

Implies a bad wrong

Implies a sad song

Imposes a sorrowful scene

Regret, … a word of depression

Denies jubilation

Denies satisfaction

And, … a negative impression

An emotion so strong

Implies a haste

Implies a waste

An absence of birdsong

Regret, … such a sad word

Creates apprehension

Creates reservations

A word that shouldn’t be heard
