Regrets
What would it be like?
She thought in her bed,
To have stayed with him
In the absence of light?
To know only him?
To hear his sweet voice?
To warm his cold heart…
The man lying next to her stirs in his sleep,
She cringes at his arm resting possessively around her.
She prays he won't wake to find her in this state
…again…
She thought she had known
Where her heart lies,
But every night she knows
That as she closes her eyes
She'll be with him once more
In his world of the night.
And she knows she'll always love him,
Even after the day that she dies.
He was her Angel of Music,
He still sings to her at night.
Only now it's just dreams,
And she tries hard to fight
The tears that come each time
She wakes only to find
That her Angel of Music
Is only there in her mind.
How could she refuse
A love that was true,
Only to realize she did love him too?
She was blinded by vanity,
She was only so young.
She let physical beauty rule her,
She let true beauty fade.
She realizes it now that her Angel's gone away.
Now, as she lies
At her dull lover's side,
Dreaming of the one man whose face
Denied him the beauty of love's happiness
All because she didn't know that physical beauty is only for show.
So she cries herself to sleep again,
Knowing she was wrong.
She prays that God forgive her and that he helps her be strong.
She knows that one day her Angel will return,
But she knows that the day will be in another life.
She left her true love buried
Five floors beneath the soiled earth.
