“There is a haunting phantom called Regret, A shadowy creature robed somewhat like woe, But fairer in the face, whom all men know By her said mien, and eyes forever wet. No heart would seek her; but once having met All take her by the hand, and to and fro They wander through those paths of long ago-- Those hallowed ways 'twere wiser to forget.” KnowsMenWayHeartLongSaidHandsEyeFacesForgetForeverPathRegretMetsCreaturesWanderWetLong AgoWiserWoeHauntingPhantoms Author:Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“Father, One day, a woman walked into my life. I hurt her deeply with the harshest words possible. I pushed her away as much as I could. But, she still came back to me. She is so much like me; I look at myself often when I look at her. She has the physical wounds that I have. The tears that fill my brain are flowing through her heart as well. I gave her those wounds. I made her cry. I should not have met her. I should not have allowed her to come into the life of a guy like me. Father, I'm regretting it. This is the first time... that I have ever regretted anything in my life.” ShouldFirstsWellsLooksHeartMadeStillsGuyFatherHurtBrainCryTearsRegretDramaMetsOne DayFirst TimeWoundsLike Me Author:Ma-Roo
