Rain-Washed Regret

The city sleeps beneath the gray,

A heavy heart knows no other way.

Each drop a reminder, sharp and clear,

Of promises I couldn't hold dear.

Rain-washed regret, staining the night,

A silent sorrow, burning so bright.

For chances missed and words unsaid,

The ghosts of memories in my head.

The rhythm of the rain outside,

A steady beat where dreams have died.

I watch the world through a misty pane,

Drowning in this melancholic rain.

Rain-washed regret, staining the night,

A silent sorrow, burning so bright.

For chances missed and words unsaid,

The ghosts of memories in my head.

If I could turn back time somehow,

Erase the lines upon my brow.

But the rain keeps falling, cold and deep,

While I harvest what I sow and weep.

Rain-washed regret, staining the night,

A silent sorrow, burning so bright.

For chances missed and words unsaid,

The ghosts of memories in my head.

Regret, washed away with the rain,

Leaving only emptiness and pain.
