Last Regrets

A courtroom of empty souls and heavy hearts
Sounds of hard shoes on an old wood floor.
Sinking further into his chair his lawyer stares.
His life will never be the same.
His disconnected family walks without feeling,
There’s no taking back what he’s done.
He was so close to getting it right this time.
He and Jack got closer than they had ever been,
It was so easy to open up when he was around him.
Last week he and Morgan went driving around for hours.
They had nowhere to go, and not a care in the world.
He and Jim told the world everything they felt,
And when the world pushed, they pushed right back.
But Ashley and he had little to share,
And she wants to break down as she leaves her father behind.
She knows he loves Jack and Morgan and Jim so much.
Just not enough to leave what they share for his only child.
