Regret

"Regret"

Can you feel it
Hanging in the air?
The pungent smell of lies
And him not giving a care
Do you feel that familiar stab
That aching in your heart?
The dread that comes over you
Before everything falls apart?
Do you wish you'd never met him?
Did he make your life too real?
Is the regret boiling over now?
Is it becoming difficult to feel
Anything but the loneliness
Did he make your life complete?
Before his true colors shone
And he left your heart battered in the street?
Maybe now you know what happens
Maybe now this won't repeat
Maybe knowing you got what you deserve
I'll finally be able to sleep
