Regret

(A sequel to "Innocence")


Alma was my greatest regret,

My heart would ache when our eyes met.

My little girl to whom I would never smile,

I treated her so horribly, all the while.

*

My 'Project Origin' started it all

- Facilitator of my hardest fall.

Ideal results: we could not reach.

The standards were set too high to breach.

*

Alma's first child had gifts of speed.

But mind control was what we need.

So a second was born. We found success,

Yet, he turned on us, creating a mess.

*

The project kept dragging on for so long.

Then I finally realized I was wrong.

Shooting drugs in her like cannon fodder.

I have no right to call her my daughter.

*

She started entering our minds, one by one.

It comes to no surprise, from what I have done.

I gave the order to seal her away.

An act I regret every single day.

*

I left her secluded for so many years.

I can't sleep at night. My eyes flooded with tears.

I had Alice to maybe start anew.

But it did nothing. Her revenge was due.

*

It's settled - I will set Alma free.

I know that I deserve no mercy.

I'm sorry, Alma, with all of my might.

I'm coming to you now, to make things right.
