Regret
Regret once encaged me
As I grasped the threads of time
To keep hold of the past
To keep hold of what was mine
The bars of steel and stone
Withheld me in it's arms
'Til all my doubt and guilt
Had been freed to inflict self-harm
It tore at my thoughts
drowning myself in pity
Leading me to it's palace
Which was lonely, cold and gritty
Once I fell that far
I could not fight to live
For depression was all too deep
And Regret had closed the lid
Regret is a master
Do not play too close
Or it will find you surely
And take what you love most
As I grasped the threads of time
To keep hold of the past
To keep hold of what was mine
The bars of steel and stone
Withheld me in it's arms
'Til all my doubt and guilt
Had been freed to inflict self-harm
It tore at my thoughts
drowning myself in pity
Leading me to it's palace
Which was lonely, cold and gritty
Once I fell that far
I could not fight to live
For depression was all too deep
And Regret had closed the lid
Regret is a master
Do not play too close
Or it will find you surely
And take what you love most
