REGRETS

 

he didn’t listen 

to advices given to him when he met her 

despite all the red flags shown to his face 

he ended up ditched, she walked away 

left him without remorse, without pity 

but he raised his head one day and said 

“I have learnt my lesson, I’ll be a better man”

she flagged down the taxi 

sat at the back seat with her tear-laced eyes 

taxi man offered her handkerchief as she burst into tears

she cried profusely without comfort at the back seat 

the taxi driver didn’t utter a word but let her be 

she knew she would never love again 

a night to her wedding, he absconded with her best friend 

like two peas in a pod they were 

totally inseparable I must confess 

one would see them and pray for their love life 

they were just perfect, aura matched 

but as life would have it’s own ways and plans 

their genotype was no match when discovered 

she cried profusely, his happiness faded away 

if they dare get married, they’ll live in regrets 

because he was rich, he flaunted 

painted the whole town in red without consideration 

committed atrocities without sympathy 

believed so much he’ll get away with anything 

he was told but he never listened 

that the wages of sin is death 

that he who kills with a gun will surely die by a bullet 

his end was tragic, death didn’t regret taking him 

careless driving was his hobby 

written on his bus was “king of the road”

music blaring out loud from his damaged speakers 

he sways side to side in rhythm to the music

“be careful” “be cautions” he has been warned thousand times 

but he cared less, lord knows what is in his head 

he ran over a ramp without a savior in sight 

our ends should always build fear in us all
