Jodie Williams Poet Rhyme

I Regret

If I could do this all again and do things differently
The lies you screamed would suddenly seem beautiful to me
I hate it that I wasted time and precious memories
It eats me up inside with every lonely breath I breathe
I'd change the way I let you bring such ignorance my way
I'd changed the way I begged and blagged and promised I would change
And when I called and emailed maybe 50 times a day
I'd change all that then maybe it would make you want to stay
If I could change the wrongs Ive made, a chance to put things right
I'd fight and fight until you're back where you belong tonight
