regret

often
I have regretted
things I've said and
the bitter taste they've left in me
and the damage
they have done to others.
I have never regretted
holding back
words, or words about feelings
even though I'm told
it's best to tell people
how you see things.
even faced with loss
I have not regretted the unsaid
because those who go before us
already know by then
but something said in haste
cannot be taken back.
