Regrets

 

There’s a crack in my heart,
Little had I known,
From the way I taunt people
For reasons unknown

There’s a gap in my heart,
A little too wide
From the way I laugh at those
Struggling behind

There’s a hole in my heart
Widespread in a region
From the way I’m biased
On the grounds of religion

There’s a piece missing in my heart
It’s nowhere to be seen
From the way I hurt others
For I’m selfish and mean

By depriving people of the treatment they deserve
I realize now, how much I’d been sinning
And now that I pay for my deeds
I know what exactly was missing

That crack in my heart? That gap, that hole?
The defects that had always been in my soul
Being so cold wasn’t because I was heartless
It wasn’t why I made people feel worthless

Reasons I hid, I have to admit,
I was a devil in a human body,
My heart was an empty, endless pit

‘Karma’ was a joke to me,
It’s effects I had never known
But standing behind the gates of hell
I clearly see the seeds I’ve sown
