Remember the nights we got drunk on moonlight
And shared secrets
But I sit here alone
With heart heavy as stone
And so many regrets.
AB Sep 2016
It's really fairly simple,
To love, and be loved.
Or at least
It should be
I spoke to you in whispers
but you shouted out my shame
My confidence is now just splinters
I can no longer speak your name

At dawn the sun broke my mask
I wore to dance to your tune
Now I'm just a broken mess
for you look down upon as your due

Can we never hear the music again
that was once our beating pulse?
Why is it you're always the one
that sings more quietly than most?

While we blind ourselves
we simply drown with the tide
Echoes of the past reflect only the failures and so shall it always be

Tomorrows promise is a kiss of remorse
just the same, we shall part
Can we leave what was only,
to pretend what never will be?

As you pull me from the depths
I simply leave you waiting
The nightmares will fade
but will the dreams ever again ring true?

So why do we dance to the same old tune?
When the music goes away
do we simply just nod to each other
knowing there's no other day?
At midnight do we excuse ourselves
to slumber separately with our demons?
Or do we simply hold onto
each other
to survive through the next season?

I taste the goodbye upon your lips
I hear our song slowly fade
Can you not simply follow me
to the shore
where new memories could be made?

In bittersweet reprise is our closing
Here do the credits role
Tonight is a moment and it bleeds the memories
Soon only to be pages from our past

Paint this moments portrait,
and stand back, not see the flaws
It is all in the illusion after all

Except for, in the grains of sand
upon which we danced
are the footsteps of our past
just washing away
Do the pages just turn on?
Because if you asked me in the beginning
I would have told you I didn't dance
But you grabbed me and started swaying
without me having a chance
to tell you I can't hear the music
I just move to a certain beat
The illusion is the only thing
that will move me to my feet

Isn't it after all, the flaws,
that will crack
and we will tumble
You may walk away singing,
while I still fumble with the illusion that we danced so pretty
under a fractured moonlight
While I tried to hold onto you
upon a tortured shore
You walked away from me
Leaving me in the dark of night
As always I give far more credit to to Helen when it comes to these co writes she is a true friend and always a honor to write with her
I could of have given you all the gifts of world. But you couldn't see past the box.

Thinking you were breaking my soul
Oh, little did you know
A heart made of stone
Is it me you wanted to mock?
Truth is;
I'm still standing
Wishing you could turn the clock around
Regrets now sinking in
A little too late, don't you think?
Better you wanted
And it's all I could offer
Knowing that the best is yet to come
Your impatience misleading you
Now look where it got you
Down and out, overwhelmed by regrets

In 17 years of mistakes
And regrets,
Wrong turns and
Bad decisions,
You are the first thing
To feel right.

Have you ever just stopped for a second and said "wait!", "what was that again?"
You're familiar with the warmth, the floating feelings, the butterflies.
You remember how happy you were, how happy you might have been until the clock says times up and woke up.
The thought still hunts you, in your dreams, places, every single thing reminds you of him.
There is always those sudden three seconds of "wait! somethings missing" kind of feeling, guess there's something wrong.
Your heart knows it fully well, you lack something.
Something important, something really special, a four letter word you keep denying ever since... love, L-O-V-E love.
You badly need a dose of it and yet here you are pretending like its nothing, you're ok and can still continue to do so.
Ask me what love is again, I believe you might have forgotten but please don't tell me you don't need it
Please don't feign ignorance on this topic, you've suffered years from it, it's the exact reason you can't give it easily to someone else. You can't move on , you still haven't moved on! why?


Because you're STUPID ENOUGH TO LET GO OF SOMEONE WHOSE PRACTICALLY THE ONLY PERSON THAT COULD GIVE YOU THE VERY DEFINITION YOU NEED ABOUT LOVE! and yes you let him go.

There are two forms of regret:
Wishing you had
And wishing you hadn't
Luisa C Aug 2016
i wish i could forget my regrets as fast as i make them.
i wish i could end my sadness as fast as it stakes me.
i wish the sky above could change to black and put a stop to the thoughts as i succumb to sleep.
i wish i fell asleep as fast as i crave sleep in the morning, waking,
aching.
i wish.
and i can only do just that.
