Charred heart.

This will burn inside me.
This should not be the way.
This is not how,
I’d choose to end a day.
I was drawn into a decision,
By the charring of a heart.
I don’t know how to heal it.
I don’t know where to start.
I wish I’d handled things differently
I wish I wasn’t here,
It hurt more than I expected,
And I did not wipe the slate clear.
I regret your actions.
I also regret mine.
Was this a defining moment?
The answer will show in time.
