Do I Regret You?
Everything reminds me of you,a look, a song, a word.
And when I think of the time we shared
the whole thing seems absurd;
That I could have been
so hopelessly shamefully blind.
Your lies that you told
were a dagger from behind,
plunged into my back,
your poison spread.
How could I have so badly
let go of my head?
Let you run away laughing,
my heart in your hands;
for you to break into pieces
and pull at the strands.
You knew how I felt,
said you felt the same way,
but if you did
then how could you betray?
My naive trust
that I put in you.
How much of what
you told me was untrue?
Lie after lie
I forgave your transgressions,
yet you turned mine on me
and used them as weapons.
I laid my heart and soul
on the line for your judgement.
Now all that's left of my heart
are minuscule remnants.
And although you'll never read
this out pour of emotion,
of my heartbreak you'll have no notion,
it feels better to put
paper to pen,
the feelings for you
I have tried to keep in.
So let this be a lesson to all
If you're cascading into love,
enjoy the fall.
