Your Tour De Force

You say it never mattered  
you say you never cared
You say you never meant it
you say it wasn’t shared

You tell me that you’re leaving
the price of love too high
You tell me what you’re taking
— that final last goodbye

With sorrow I resent you
with sorrow I decry
With sorrow you brought heartache 
with sorrow all your lies

Regret will be your suitor
regret to long reside
Regret will be your tour de force
— regret you cannot hide
