Do You Regret?

by Joshua Lee   Dec 20, 2008


Do you regret?

do you regret that I've left

that I've gone elsewhere

cause I no longer care?

Do you regret

that as time goes by

I will forget you name

and forget your face

forget who you are

and remember new tastes

livining my day

with the caress of a lover

spending my time with

the company of another

Do you regret?

That every time you look in the mirror

you are haunted by the empty space

the empty air that once held me

and captured our embrace

now that I am gone

all that's left is the memory

will you recall my countenance

as something wretched or lovely?

Do you regret?

For I do not

for even though your touch

was as warm as the summer

and even though your love

was meant for none other

when your anger brewed

darkness came from your spite

and as your flame ingited

the sparks would take flight

landing upon me

and making a mark

signing me as

tainted

hated

created for just this

a tormenting bliss

when you said none other

I knew something was amiss

so like your flames of anger

I myself took flight

away from your darkness

into the night

Do you Regret?

When you say love you mean lust

when you are cruel it is just

and I must but cannot protest

for all that I am was locked down by you

chained to the walls

and with every beck and call

I was there for you

but no more

a dog no more

and a master once again

to hold the reigns to my life

to seek what I wish

what I feel to be right
