Regret

I need to walk away,
Save whatever I have left.
Try to put a smile
On this face
Of broken lies.
Don’t look this way,
Because then I will regret
Knowing you even more.
I won’t have the strength
To say goodbye.
I know my heart
And I know my mind.
Only through time
Will they get along again.
I’m sorry
That I feel this way
To an idea
So stupid to fathom
One cannot be taken seriously.
So I’ll walk back into my cage
Where I know I’m alone.
I’ll regret everything I’ve done,
I’ll curse my choices,
I’ll damn my heart.
And I’ll wait
For the next horizon.
I’ll wait for its stunning silence,
Its warmth overseeing my blindness
To the darkness behind it.
