Simple Regret

  This dreadful ache within my soul

  I may be man, but not one whole

  Mere existence, I've no true goal

  Until at last I hear my final toll

  The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  A life spent in wait, a boy drained of hate

  Claimed by no mate, a husk sacrificed to uncaring fate

  There is pain within that will not heal

  My flesh marred by scars, now long seal

  Destiny profound that seems unreal

  My blackened soul still awaits reveal

  Higher thoughts, they do descend

  With past actions, I must contend

  My history long written, to no amend

  Will I find joy before I reach my end

  Or has my suffering fled me through this pen?
