Petals of Regret

I wrote a lot because the process was new to me But it permanently altered our relationship. Then I discovered I was not alone So much for being alone My project was something you didn't like But it was my first classic. I tried to put you on the front But you hid your face in my jacket. I tried desperately to keep up with myself But I could only go so far. 15 years ending with a whimper Melancholy heartbreak at its finest. She was so powerful you almost thought goddess But she surprised us all when she melted to the floor I wanted to say "honey just allow me one more chance" But in her puddle I only saw my reflection. At night sitting in the clubs I thought and wrote of her I already wanted to lead a quiet life Though the world didn't know it yet. She never tried to hurt anybody I didn't know I was hurting her.
