Mark Toney Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Regret

I just feel regret, unspoken
I just feel the pain
Since the day you left
My life has been a broken shell
A living hell

I just feel regret
I can't believe I let you go
It was foolish pride before the fall
The day you left when I lost all

I should have said I loved you
I should have made you stay
But I just stood in silence
And watched you walk away

And now, I'm only left with my regret

Years have passed
My thoughts they haunt me
What we could have had!
Memories replay in my head
But they're not real
And I feel dead

I should have held you closer
I should have made you see
The feelings I have for you
Just what you mean to me

But all I'm left with now is my regret
