Regret

If only I could endure the pain Save you from these immortal chains You don't deserve anything gore But I deserve all of it and more Who I used to be Is still inside me Trying to fight it's way out Attempting to be loud But I will never give in I shouldn't be forgiven For everything I've done I had many victims; you were one My regret will never be loud enough I'm sorry, you were never tough I put you through hard times What I did was more than crimes I never knew that I could do So much harm to someone like you I changed your world, and now it's true I ruined it, I ruined you I messed up your life All the great and good times I covered it with a web of lies I realize now that was unwise All the times I've seen you cry Breaks me several times inside I should stay away from you Even when we were once stuck like glue Our worlds were conjoined and then torn apart I broke, and broke, rebroke your heart I always wish we'd get to restart But now your life is sour as a tart What I did was tortured you I can't believe I put you through This harmful world, so true All of this you endured Worse than the tip of a sword Worse than any hurtful words I can't believe how you've matured Nothing I did reassured Your procedure Now I know I won't get you back My world, it spirals into black I did things that I can't take back Many positive things I lack Doing things right isn't my forte But I hope you'll live to see another day Over and over again I pray That you will finally be safe I hope that you will stay away I do more harm than I first relay Ignore my pleas Stay away from me You have every single right to shun I did things I shouldn't have done But you don't shun instead you come Near perilous, precarious, fatal me Erase me from their memories All those worries, thoughts and dreams Endlessly crying a glistening stream Please forget me My point is that I accept defeat I would take it back in a heartbeat These things I did I won't repeat I promise that I'll be discreet If only I hadn't hurt you If only I hadn't said things that weren't true But I did, I did that, now you're lonely If only, if only, if only...
