Regret

A poem about regret, and hope.

stuck in the past
a painful moment
when I hurt you.
a moment
when I became a number,
just another careless girl.
the tears that ran down your cheeks
branded my heart,
a permenant reminder
of the trust I lost.
I wish I could open my soul
and show you
how much I want to take it back.
all the worry and pain
I caused you.
but I can't.
all I can do
is love you more and more
for giving me the second chance
I desperately prayed for
and show you
you're my one and only.
the single person
in my little world
who knows me better than I know myself.
and hope in time
the trust and love I lost
will come back.
then I can be at peace
with the past
and look toward the future,
our future.
