Regrets Repeated over a Broken Heart
I thought I was all right But now, I realize not
I gave him the stick to batter my heart, again! To violate my existence, And scrape the scab that was mending Now, the gash is open and sore, once more Oozing oodles of gore!
I shouldn’t have thought twice I shouldn’t have welcome you this time
I know I must have hurt you, caused you pain. More, I know that I have lost your trust. I wish I had that moment back again To pulverize my carelessness and lust. Sometimes we have to lose what we most cherish To understand how much we are in need. We play with life until we nearly perish To dare the darkness, though within we bleed. I need you as the sun must have a rose To turn its empty radiance to glory, Or as a nation needs someone who knows The secrets of its long-forgotten story. I know my need of you more than before; Thus for my trespass you may trust me more.
When love is an affliction, There's not much one can do. Despite the way you've treated me, I'm still in love with you. I am the wave and you the rock Against which I must break: Again, again the crushing jolt, The pain I can't forsake;
Again, again the long retreat To safety, far from shore, And then again, I don't know why, The long trip back for more.
Perhaps it is nostalgia for A long uncertain glow, Or just some hope so beautiful I cannot let it go.
Perhaps it is the need to try For those who must depend On who we are and what we do, For whom this should not end.
What evil makes you hurt me so, What defect of the heart? What sense there is no greater whole Of which you are a part?
What lonely choice that only you Be served by what you choose? What hard, hard fear of losing what It is a gift to lose?
I dream sometimes my waiting love Has made you turn again. But you care only for yourself, And I must love in vain
I know I must have hurt you, caused you pain.
ReplyDeleteMore, I know that I have lost your trust.
