Dexter's Regrets

Lab coat stained, dreams in the sink,

Beakers bubbled over, left no time to think.

Blueprints scattered, a genius gone rogue,

Memories of glory now shrouded in smoke.

Regrets weigh heavy, a mind can't erase,

Chased the horizon, but fell from the race.

Tried to build empires, now rubble remains,

Dexter’s regrets, trapped in his brain.

Circuit boards fried, sparks kissed the air,

A thousand inventions, none left to care.

Sister stomped through, chaos she brought,

Tried to fix the world, but it all turned to naught.

Gears grind slower, ambition decays,

Time slipped away in the laboratory haze.

Mirror shows a face, both young and old,

A prodigy once, now stories untold.

Enemies conquered, their shadows still loom,

Victory’s hollow when it echoes through gloom.

Lost in equations, forgot the real game,

Love and connection replaced by the fame.

Regrets weigh heavy, a mind can't erase,

Chased the horizon, but fell from the race.

Tried to build empires, now rubble remains,

Dexter’s regrets, trapped in his brain.
