Burning Regret

It’s a grievance, this hate that’s burning inside
And my gratitude for being alive
Is unsustained
And it rained
On the sunniest day
Everyone asking if I was okay
But I can’t have you
Though it’s not as if I even wanted to
And you’re far away
I only came to say
I think you’re awesome, okay
And you fire back a retort
I guess you were a little short
In the olden days
And there are so many ways
I can’t have you
At least not like you wanted me to
And I sigh
Is forever just a long goodbye
As the darkness calls
Leads us down miscellaneous halls
To where it all began
And I ran
For my life
You want a wife
And I’m all open seas
You’ll never get me on my knees
Begging to hold
The absence of which you scold
Like a never say die
I know I caught your eye
It’s just your heart is free
And I don’t want it to capture me
And let all my toil
Simply going off the boil
Because this love is real
And there are things that will heal
If you want them to
If you let me I will hold you
In my steady gaze
I don’t need no hero to try and save
Me from what I already am
I guess it’s less without a plan
