regret vs. remorse

if you fell -
it's well you know
that no one did you wrong
enough to force your hand.

& if you fell a fool -
you must have been a fool
far well before
you knew.

everything may break
& everything may mend.
pride is all that stalls
attaining ground that gave.

& listen, listen well:
regret & remorse
are not so much alike -
but that some words parade
& tangle up the knowing that you need.
