Left Foot, Right Foot
Why!
How dare you apologize?
Such foolish allegations once made
Regret, followed by your lonely shadow
I loved you so much
And you forbade me!
All I need is a hug
But you escape me
Though so cold six feet beneath
I failed to warm you
You told me I was your heart
Though your heart has failed, too
Why must thou perceive me as such
A monster?
A fool?
Though you know your own,
You know nothing of my wounds
Not a sliver of love or respect
Lost, when I found you
Forever escaping my soul
Like a rat on a wheel
Endlessly stuck in place
A place filled with regret
