Regret

Something I wrote for my girlfriend when I left her once...now that we’re back together she’s scared I’ll leave again
What would you do,
If you hurt the one you loved?
If all she did was cry,
Whispering wishes up above,

Hoping that you'll be there,
Every morning when she wakes up,
How often she sits there,
Wondering whether to give up,

She think you will leave her,
That her love you will not fend,
But truly you wish she would,
Just leave you in the end,

But all she does is cry,
She lets her pain show,
She reaches out for you,
Begging you not to go,

Even though you won't,
Her pain still leaves a mark,
You promise her a thousand times,
Even on your own heart,

But she still cries,
She still bleeds,
She still begs,
She still pleads,

You left her once,
Made her numb and all,
Knocked her down the hightower,
Watched as she falls,

But you came back,
You picked her back up,
Held her close,
And flew like doves,

You still don't understand,
Why she still thinks you're gonna go,
Her fear has arisen,
She thinks you don't know,

But she still cries,
Her pain still shows,
And now you sit her crying,
Telling her you won't go...
