This feeling wrenching my guts
is accidentally stripping a butterfly
of its wings
Running over
an endangered fox
Losing a family heirloom
in a move
Watching the house burn
and I couldn't get the pictures
Watching an execution
Or a dolphin slaughter
The feeling of holding in secrets
The feeling of losing my best friend
Death is coming
And the beautiful things will live on
This is regret
The feeling of not giving enough
