Regret
I see a sky without clouds and stars I'm not in darkness but I'm far away from light I saw you like fire and water Didn't know you were a pleasant nature I thought you were my enemy Didn't see you were a dove wearing an owls feather This love you gave with loyalty But I showed no accolades You served me your pain everyday And wasted your flesh to please me But I was too blind to see Was I naive or stupid ??? Now sorry is too late to say "Come back" you might never hear I would be cursed if I sing eulogy at your grave But if termites had not made a feast of your heart Please do forgive me...
