Regret
I watch tears fall from your eyes,
Tears not of anger, joy, or surprise.
You reach out and touch the grey stone,
You've stayed here for hours, away from your home.
Your breath then stops; quick in your throat,
As you read again the letter I wrote.
The tears fall again, but faster this time,
As you hold close the letter of mine.
I stayed out of sight and watched you cry,
Now thinking of only one reason why.
I had suffered enough and it was my time,
the only reason that came to my mind.
My past was grey, my future grim,
There was nothing to live for since you were with him.
I had loved you so much, but feared to tell,
Rejection would be my own secret hell.
You fell to the ground, cursing yourself,
For ignoring the feelings for me that you felt.
And at that time you confessed your love,
your love for me to the heavens above.
Now as I stand here, it begins to rain,
And I see in your soul and feel your pain.
You close your eyes and scream aloud,
Up though the rain and into the clouds.
You felt the same, and had like fears,
The outcome only leading to tears.
I cried when I left, my heart grieving for you,
Wishing that you had felt the same way too.
Now that I know that you loved me dear,
And only wanted those words to hear,
I felt myself covered in shame,
And didn't deserve to utter your name.
You turned at my whisper and looked right at me,
Somehow knowing, you were able to see.
Walking towards me you said my name,
Asking me why and that you felt the same.
I didn't deserve to look at you,
So I faded away, and out of your view.
I saw the sorrow again in your eyes,
And disappeared with a simple goodbye.
You dropped to your knees toward the sunset,
Leaving you my only regret.
