Regret

I regret not running to you

Yet I regret running to you then but

Now it's behind me

 

I think of how we talk

Of how we laugh, then 

I pick apart every word

 

It feels like you're too afraid 

Like you don't want to push the boundaries 

That I wanted you to 

 

I still lay awake 

Thinking of your face,

Thinking of you

 

It feels like we both know something 

And we both know it didn't work, I still 

Feel so connected to you regardless 

 

I regret not trying harder to fix it

But in the end I've moved on and I 

Don't want the second chance I'd once begged you for 

 

And yet I fear this is just another poem

Another collection of words that are strung into incoherent sentences 

Carrying the weight of my mind

Holding my thoughts for everyone to see

 

I regret writing this.

  • Nothing anymore

    For years when I would look at your face, I saw my future, my life, my whole world in your eyes, but today I for once just saw your face. The same lips that I had once longed to kiss, the same eyes that I would get lost in, yet I felt nothing.

  • Counting backwards

    I'll push my dull heart down

    Anytime you need me to

    And you'll never hear me

    Beg you under my breath 

    Not to leave me

     

    You looked at me

    Like I'm a horrible 

    Burden just now

  • On a scale

    I look in the mirror 

    Like any girl my age

    But I'm repulsed in horror 

    At what is on stage

     

    I look at those numbers 

    Wait for them to go down again 

    114, 113, 112
