we all have some form of regret
a love or hate we won't forget
some time, and place of lost embrace
or a moment of hurt and sad disgrace
that time when the cheek won't turn
smoldering ruins of that bridge we burn
the hurt and heartache of love unfulfilled
little wind to stir the springtime chill
just walk away leave the smokey gloom
seek a thread and pull yourself from the liars loom
the journey is long on life's winding road
give yourself a break from hates painful load
exit the dark cold of night, unclench the fist, release the spite
onto the dawn, the fight was too long, let in some peaceful light
living in yesterday is of no import, life is too short and new love too sweet
giving in is not giving up, feeling peace within, is not retreat
