The Cost of My Stupidity Was Too High

Time is slowly moving past Joy is slipping from my grasp Days bring nothing but sad thoughts Losing you, but at what cost Mistakes, regrets fill up my head Things I should have done instead Words did not come out so right I let you go, you held on tight Took over by insanity I just wanted to be free I wasn't even worrying About you or the feelings That I hurtfully attacked Words of power fully packed Saying things that didn't lack The meanness that cut right through Making you depressed and blue Thinking of myself and leaving You weren't the only one grieving Your pain is no longer there No more crying lonely tears Your at peace, but I am not I'm living with the hardest part Of my selfishness so long And the blame since you've been "gone"

Oh there is so much regret at letting go, and the unknowing eats at you so. But blame can only hurt for so long, pick up your words and write a new song. hugs.xx
