Regret i wish i never had

by AngelEyez89   Jul 13, 2008


Standing in the bathroom,
Staring at glass in front of me.
My reflection too ashamed to reflect,
All the stupid things I've become.
Because of you.

How did we get here?
How did we lose everything we ever were?
And become everything we promised we'd never be?
We were strangers when we first met,
We're strangers now that we are apart,
Because it's too much effort for you,
Just to be nice.

Should I apologise?
For having feelings?
Should I pretend you never happened?
Or do I just erase you from my mind?
I would if I could.
Tell me how.
Tell me how you did it.
Because no matter how hard I try,
You're still my everything.
Good and bad.
My everything.

You say you want to make it better?
Start with growing up.
Start with coming good on your promises.
Then finish with caring.
Because that's all I ever wanted.

And so here we are,
I'm the promise you couldn't keep.
You're the regret I wish I never had.
