Regret

The sky was dark,

The stars were gray,

I asked myself

Why wouldn’t you stay

When I needed you most

To kiss my tears,

And hold me close;

Remove my fears.

Now you’re gone,

But I’ll still love you

Though I can’t stop crying;

I guess I’m just a fool.

I’ve been deceived,

I’ve been ignored,

Yet I still believe

In this love not so pure;

A love not so tender,

Nor a love as dear

As the words from my mind

That I will always hear

About how it shall happen

When the stars aren’t so gray,

When the sky isn’t dark

And my tears go away,

That you will come back

And never depart

Like you did before -

When you broke my heart.
