The Sorrow 5/26/04

How many times must you remind me

of what I’ve done wrong

-Every time I walk by?

I reflect the sorrow in your eyes

Though in my eyes is a sorrow of

regret and remorse.

The kind of sorrow that you bring upon yourself

and can’t take away.

My dreams of you have gotten worse

since the last.

Dreams where you turn your back on me

and leave me in the past.

There have been times when I haven’t

thought of you

but those are the times when I miss you the most.

What I did to you plagues me

and haunts me like a ghost.

You’ll never know how often I regret.

I think of what could have been

and what shouldn’t be,

That is

The sorrow you give to me.
