– My Endless Regret –


I never knew that was the last time you would ever smile at me
I didn't know it would be the last time you would see me alive
I didn’t know how hard it was till I tried to hold on
I didn’t know there was anything more to life than this
I never knew death would be even worse
I didn’t mean it, I swear, I never meant to go that far, it’s just that I stopped caring

I never knew I would still be able to see you and reach out to you and try to touch you, but never quite make it
If I had known you cared so much, I would never have put you through this
I didn’t mean it, not really, but I stopped coping a long time ago
The blade just slipped, again, deeper, again
~I didn’t know the end would want me so badly.

You never knew I would reach out to touch your cheek as you slumbered each night
Or that the crimson and the tears fell in torrents as I held you, only to disappear into nothing
I didn’t know I could hold you in my arms like this, or that time seemed to stop when I did
I didn’t know I could hold you so tenderly, but still you would never know I was there. You never felt me. I tried. I tried to make you feel it, I did.
I tried so hard but you never felt me, not once.
~And you never knew how much I loved you

I didn’t know you would never see me standing desperately next to you, telling you that I loved you, that I was ok even though I wasn’t, that you could move on
I didn’t know I would fade as the morning swept over the night
I didn’t know you would never feel me touch your face. Believe me, I tried. I tried to make you feel it, I did
I tried so hard but you never felt me
I didn’t know you would never see me standing right in front of you, watching over you

I didn’t know I would never tell you how I felt, I never knew you felt the same way.
How could I have known you had worked up the courage to tell me right before you found me. How could I have known you would arrive as I passed, or that you would sit and hold my lifeless form until the others came and took me away from you.

I didn’t know, and I wish I did. I wish it never happened. I wish so much that time could play backwards. I wish you could have saved me. I know you tried, but you were too late. I know you blame yourself, and I wish I could tell you that it wasn’t your fault. I wish I wish I wish that I could. But I can’t.

And I didn’t know I would be cursed to watch you grow old and go from me
I didn’t know you would never get over me
I didn’t know I could never leave this place, that I am bound here and cursed to walk this haunt for eternity
I didn’t know the dead could wish for death again so badly

I didn’t know they would tell my story to the others, almost as if they knew. But they never told you. No, they never told you

And I didn’t know my heart could ache so much
I didn’t even know I had a heart until too late

I didn’t know any of this before.
But now I do. Now I can see so clearly that you cared for me. I can see it all but it’s too late
If only I knew. If only. If only I hadn’t been so damn blind.
And I am sorry. I am so sorry for being so stupid. And now I have to pay. I regret everything and I wish and I weep and I wish and I tried. But it was never enough. I was never enough.
And now you’re gone and I’m still here. Cursed to haunt this place forever.
For eternity.

Hold on to me love
You know i can't stay long
All i wanted to say was i love you and
I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?!

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me as you fade to b l a c k

~ Evanescence

Enjoy.

Wow...

This made me cry for so long..and I'm a guy that's not really prone to tears. But when something moves you there's no help for it.

This is how I've been feeling for a while now, and I must admit these could have been my words just a couple weeks ago..but I couldn't. There was something stopping me.

It's good to see feelings like this put out on "paper" so to speak. Once you read something like this it makes it so much easier to move past something like this and have a true appreciation for the work.

~One day there'll be a time for dancing and laughter and joy
...one day soon
...I hope.~

Oh wow... you have no idea how much it means to hear you say that. I've been feeling the same way on and off for a while too - i guess that's why i wrote this poem. Poetry for me is like a lifeline. If i didn't have poetry, i swear to god, sometimes i have no idea where i'd be by now - actually i don't want to know :S
But thankyou so so so much for your comment and watch :) It means a lot to me that my poetry is appreciated.
