I swore I'd never regret loving you,
But life was never that easy on me;
I'm broken-hearted and I don't know what to do.
I am so much better than I used to be -
Yet the pain bares down on my tattered soul;
But life was never that easy on me.
Incomplete, I'm trying to mend the gaping hole -
But my heart probably doesn't deserve that,
Yet the pain bares down on my tattered soul.
You were all I wanted and all I had ever lacked,
And you loved me, once upon a time -
But my heart probably doesn't deserve that.
I'm just wishing that you'd come back; I'd be fine -
But deep down, I'm just a broken-hearted kid -
And you loved me, once upon a time.
I'm wishing I never did what I did -
But deep down, I'm just a broken-hearted kid -
I swore I'd never regret loving you;
I'm broken-hearted and I don't know what to do.

Terzanelle
The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the
terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets
plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear
as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line
of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last
stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets
is as follows:
