Regret

As I drift away... far away from you,

I feel all alone in a crowded room,

Thinking to myself"There's no escape from thisfearregretloneliness..."

Visions of love and hate

A collage behind my eyes

Remnants of dying laughter

Echoes of silent cries

I wish I didn't know now that

I never knew then...

FlashbackMemories punish me again.

Sometimes

I remember all the pain that

I have seen.

Sometimes

I wonder what might have been...

Visions of love and hate

A collage behind my eyes

Remnants of dying laughter

Echoes of silent cries

And sometimes

I despairAt who

I've become

I have to come to terms

With what

I've doneThe bittersweet taste of fate

We can't outrun the past

Destined to find an answer

A strength

I never lost

I know there is a way,

My future is not set,

For the tide has turned

But still

I never learned to live without regret.
