    In my life
    I have had but one regret
    And that is not taking you
    When I had the chance

    In my life
    I have had but one fear
    And that was that I
    Would wait too long
    To hold you near
    And that you would be gone

    And of course I did
    And you are
    I blew it
    I am a joke
    And I think you knew it

    Now nothing looks as good
    Or tastes as sweet
    And it won’t
    Unless we finally meet

    Can’t you see
    What this is doing to me?
    I am a wreck
    A flaming pile

    Don’t you know
    That I would do anything
    Just to see you smile?

    I cannot go on
    Living in this hell
    A malicious torment
    That I know very well

    My love is a hefty burden
    A heavy, heavy load
    I keep to myself
    What should have been told

    Won’t you listen
    To my solemn sorrow?
    Will you still
    Talk to me tomorrow?

    Is there not
    A shred of hope?
    I am constantly
    Sliding down
    This fickle slope

    Am I writing in vain?
    Will it never
    Be the same?

    You have slipped between my fingers
    Like sand in an hourglass
    Time
    If only I could
    Turn back
    The hands of time

    I long for the days
    When you felt
    What I do
    What I have
    Since I first saw you

    Has your love
    For me died?
    If so, why?

    I need to know
    What you feel
    I know we could have
    Something real

    Now it’s your turn
    Tell me if your fire
    Still burns
    I can only hope

    Seemed to drag on a little towards the end... Not the style I usually enjoy but I did this one, it's good :)

    I hear you, this is actually the longest piece I've written so far. There's parts I like and some I don't. I'll probably cut some out. Anyway, thank you for your input, I appreciate it.

    No problem :) I'm sure a lot of people will be able to relate to it; I know I can, and after reading it again more carefully I find that it's better than I first thought. With just a little work it could have more quality.
