Deepest (for the Deepest Regret competition)
Lying on my floor,
Chilled to the bone.
I reach for the door,
But I’m all alone.
I couldn’t say all the things I wanted to say,
I just hid my head trembling with fear.
I can’t take back what you’ve taken away,
But I feel you, I feel you near.
I’m going to die alone, that’s too fitting,
I always tried to smile, told myself I was happy,
But honestly I was thinking, “Who am I kidding?”
When on the best days I felt so crappy.
I’m ashamed and I’m alone,
I’m tired of running away so I’ll just lie here.
I don’t want to die clinging to the pain, I need for you to know,
Just how much in life you made me fear.
As I bleed out I think about what you did to me,
And how you were so callously cruel,
As you took my virginity.
To have kept it secret... Am I a fool?
But even now as I think of you in my last moments,
Think of all things you did and could still do.
Even though I spent my years silent and never showed this,
My deepest regret was never having the courage to tell on you.
