Regret

The road is long, the distance too great
I struggle alone in this distant path
I let pride guide me-a most vicious evil!
Words were spoken and hearts were broken
Now all to my name is but a bag of shame

I was wrong-God I was wrong
To admit to fault-all for nought!
Now, bright as day
No sooner did I pay
For the crime of passion, holds me at ransome!

I've made my bad, that resolves to be laid
My credit's due
For my lover's sue
She pains me whole and yet I...
I love her more
