Afterthought

I should have, but I didn't.
I could have...why?

What was I thinking? Where did I go wrong?
I didn't see it coming.
Now it is so obvious and real.
Like I have been here before. sometime long ago.
And yet, foresight has forsaken me.

What was I thinking? What could I have done?
Did I not listen to the signs and warnings?
It is so clear to me now , yet I was blinded by the moment.
When will I learn from my past?
Oh hindsight, why do you haunt me with your guilt?

What was I thinking? Will I ever change?
Will I find understanding and resolve?
How many times have I done this and yet,
Have I forgiven myself? Did I finally learn?
What insight have I embraced from my journey?

I should have, but I didn't.
I could have...Will I next time?
