Regret

Opening up to someone is hard work sometimes—even harder when they let you go.

warm, inviting, intimate

mental state I'm living in

you happy

makes me happy

for a little bit

yes we talk

and yes I smile

but when you're gone

I'm in denial

cause when you're gone

so is my mind

and when you say

that I'm okay

I'm alright

a simple good guy

it makes me want

to fall apart

and show you my

broken heart

for no one sees

what I see

face obstruct

a warm firm touch

you have a grasp

on love to last

since I'm just used to

being used

I open up again for you

let you in my world

let you move

throughout my mind

you found out

it's not so nice

you get scared

I watch you go

it's my breaking point

my all time low

you were there

when no one was

you faked your love

just because

the pain and hurt

of someone else

was enough

for you to melt

it made you happy

seeing me burn

you liked it more

as you adore

watching me burn

but now it's time

for my own turn

I used your tricks

that I have learned

and never again

will I depend

on someone evil

deep down within

I cared too much

to simply be let go

heartbreak
