Perpetual Regret | |
To live every moment with regret
Knowing the losses have been met To have already seen her graceful face And then to have passed by her sweet taste Knowing true bliss never to be met Let go; Forget To live every moment with dismay Feelings of freedom; Feelings betray Like a bird held down with might Never again to feel the freedom of flight Choices are made; Swallowed down; Forever to stay So is the lust to be free and fly away To live every moment with nothing but pity The crown of sorrow fits be-fittingly All the things that could have been gained Only a shroud of darkness is obtained Knowing now that the past is finality The need is deep to break from insanity To live every moment; Now with happiness To bury the past; The use of forgetfulness Then lifting the weight of despair As lusting wings touch free air Living the past is ignorant foolishness Come to terms; And rid the thoughtlessness Memories are things that have come to be Never to change them; Can you not see They are set in eternal stone And stronger yet, than living bone Realization; You can not flee From that truth that always is, and forever will be |
