Heartache

When I think back to those days

I had two choices to make

I never said what was needed.

That choice was a mistake.

How was I to know,

That I was letting go,

I was afraid!

Now I’m lonely

Yet I don’t know what it is

Show me the meaning

And how to cope,

To control the burning tears,

In my eyes.

There is an ache in my heart

The pain of a thousand needles.

Something is missing…

It’s you!

Regrets, painful regrets

Memories, heart warming

Tears burning

Love, a raging ocean.

Regretted actions of the past,

Can’t be hidden in shadow,

Creeping back to me.

When I remember, pin pricks of pain

Come tearing back to me.

The regretful past!
