Regret
Regret
A quiver of arrows that
Pierce my chest every waking moment.
A shadow
Haunting my every dream.
Every day I think of you.
I cannot forget
What I could not say.
At night, when regret leaves me
With no rest,
I look up at the heavens
And see
Your beautiful face
Among the shining stars.
Regret
The never-ending torment.
I cannot forget
The moments I let slip
Between my hands.
My hands
I had desperately hoped
Would hold yours.
I fought a war, In hopes
That you would see me.
Hope has struck me down,
Struck me harder
Than any sword ever could.
Regret
For the times I didn't
Show you my heart,
Didn't have
The courage
That I claim to own.
When I have a sword
I am afraid of no one,
A man cannot regret a courageous act,
Yet I cannot find in me,
Any courage to win your love.
And still I love you.
You are my life.
Regret
Fills my soul
For I know
This is the last letter
I will be sending to you,
Roxane, my love.
How I wish
I could have said it sooner.
You are my love,
And I have loved you
For all times.
Regret sits on my doorstep.
Death brings worry
That you may never know.
Regret
For all the moments I sat beside you
And dared not utter a word.
How many times I sat
Waiting for you to feel as I.
Alas! The love of woman
Is more elusive
Than the love of man.
Forgive me, my love,
But you are all I want,
All I ever wanted.
And all I love.
Regret
Is my last and greatest enemy
The enemy that stands between
You and I.
The enemy I cannot conquer.
So this is my good-bye
My love.
I will see you in what afterlife
Is to come.
But always remember the words
I could not say,
Could not say, until now.
