As the snow and ice finally begins to thaw

so goes away the stress and woes of winter.

It all seems like some sort of natural bi-law

for each spring is a rebirth to what things were.

As flowers start their bloom, I remember her

and the years we spent enjoying each spring.

Many will recall much more than we’d prefer

what could have been if I gave her that ring.

Regrets overflow because of the choices made

so ashamed for following the worn down path.

Participating in a race to get paid and then laid

goals that left me broken and feeling such wrath.

Life is a struggle, no one ever claimed it was not

you chose this, so accept the consequences brought.
