Regret

Longing for what was, what will never be

Talk to me of your tender truths

In unexpressed holdings of self

I see you and do you see me

Years of the wine drank in restrain

Because of caring in the name of health

You must remain confined with words

What I want for you cannot be explained

Every whisper, every shout remembered

Air breathes across my face as tears flow

Today's stories move forward

Come when you no longer can run

Love will say taste me here, it is alright

It is all right to cry, eyes opening only glimpse

Gazing into a field of a veiled heart

Walking one last time to say goodbye

Now we sing silently listening for voices

Joy talks and shares what has never been said

The world of who we are opens once again

Go against yourself, risk regret.
