Love Poem: Bottle of Regret

Bottle of Regret

In the bottle, I sought escape,
But found only demons that took my shape.
I'm sorry for the heart I broke in vain,
I screwed up with my selfish pain.

I drowned my sorrows, tried to numb the ache,
But in the process, it was you I would break.
I chose the drink to silence my mind,
Blind to the scars I was leaving behind.

You deserved better, a love that's true,
But my stupidity turned me away from you.
In every glass, my fears found their voice,
Leaving me lost, bound by poor choice.

No longer will I let the drink decide,
I'll face my emotions, no longer hide.
Though I can't undo the pain I've caused,
I'll fight my addiction, at any cost.
