Wish...Regret....Hope

I wish the memory of you would depart.
I wish that I could cut you from my heart.

I wish that I had not met you that fateful day,
I wish I had run far far away.

I wish I had not been so naive
I wish I had just let you leave.

It does not matter what I wish,
For regret is now your dish.

Regret of ever loving you.
Regret of having no clue.

Regret that vile you spew?
Regret means nothing to you!

It makes my blood run cold
That I believed the lies you told!

Will I ever truly be whole?
Can I forget what you stole?

I hope to one day be
The one that is truly free.

I hope to find release.
I hope that you give me peace.
