more than a touch of regret

where did all this spiral start

an acquaintance or a friend?

the victim points his outstretched finger

while the plaintiff stands accused

does it even matter now it's asked

 

it was merely a gang of youths

some with more than a sprinkling of promise

and others with their cards marked

through blatant disregard

 

it all got way out of hand

the same story they'd all been warned of

but they fell victim of the same curiosity that murdered the previous cat

they fell out of touch to all's tethered end

some are still looking for help in the eyes of the blind
