Said modals of lost opportunities
And have brings them to the past
That makes it all so unchangeable
Relegated to regret's futile realm
What might have been done
Or may have been once said
Never grows to blossom fully
Wilting possibilities fall away
The petals of hopes fulfilled
Never emerge early enough
The seasons becoming frigid
The years turn one frail, old
Relics full of what-ifs complain
Their ambitions unrealized -
Should've, would've, could've
Comfortless, callused remorse
