Regrets Poem by Michelle Mendoza

Funny that you still cross my mind
Funny that I felt the strongest for you
I realized how much you meant to me
The thing that I thought I never could be

If only I was strong enough for you
If only I listened and talked to you
Then perhaps by now I am complete
Perhaps this emptiness I need not admit

Oh how I had hurt you
How I had made you blue
Trying to reach out for me
While I did my best to be free


Now I regret that I was so tough,
Wish to be the one that makes you laugh
Thought letting you go was the right thing
I was wrong because these things cling

Can I say sorry and hope you absolve me
For ripping out the heart that once was mine
Can I see the smile of your forgiveness
And make this heart out of weariness

Until then my friend
Until the pains mend
Then all will be well
To this earth we dwell
