Regret Poem by Anthony Marsden

The one I love does not love me back.
If I knew the road, I'd take the track.
My heart is like a tunnel of love.
You chose to avoid it and travel above.

My hope and desire is like an eternal fire
The flames burn bright to guide you near.
From me you have nothing to fear.

I once was whole by being with you.
And my heart beats because it's true.
I knew we fought and I regret the fight.
But there's nothing more I want, than to hold you at night.

I miss your smell and I miss your smile.
I can honestly say you are worth the while.
Had my thoughts not been so deep,
Then I think I would have had you to keep.

I shouldn't have let the arguments get in the way
but really, what else can I say?
You are the one, my one true love.
If I could change the past then surely I would.

You are my life, my soul and stone.
when I felt lost, you'd guide me home.
You pull me close and hold me tight.
Telling me not to give up and win the fight.

Being together I felt so strong.
Having left you I was so wrong.
I can't think a thought free of you.
No matter what I try to say or do.

If I could have just one wish
Listen closely as I tell you this.
My wish of wishes would likely be...
To have you be there again for me.
