Letters of Regret

This one was supposed to be written along with Yours Truly (you may notice similarities), but I just couldn't write it until now. Anyways, here it is.

My love...

 

And so this is how it ends

The years just seem to pass us by.

I can’t say the things I should have

Everyone knows its too late now.

Too late to change who I was

And the regret starts to build within my chest.

It’s getting hot in here and the regret starts to build.

 

And if you’re listening this time

You might hear my voice break when I scream

 

I’ve filled pages of words meant to

Never meet your eyes. Letters of

Regret that will never reach your hands.

I’ve written so much that ink runs

In my veins and where my heart used to be

Lies our unfinished novel, waiting for you

To fashion us an ending.

 

My throat is raw from apologies

I’ve been screaming every word you’ll never read.

 

I still have every letter,

And I’ve signed them all In loving memory.

The feelings you conveyed in these lyrics are so familiar to me; The pain, the absolute and total desperation, and of course, the regret. These emotions were so raw, and so heartwrenching, and I think that you conveyed them really well. The whole idea behind the letter was really creative, and I loved the way you went back to the letter at the end. This had an effortless flow to it, and I really believed every word you were saying.
"I've filled pages of words meant to Never meet your eyes." That pretty much sums up my life right there. Hahaha, this was awesome! Rawr.
