Regrets or Maybe Not

Tesa Greenside, Poet

We had great love

Now we turned it so cold

What happened to us?

I couldn’t believe you

He couldn’t trust me

Now all there’s left is pain

 

We knew from the beginning it was dangerous love

But I wasn’t ready to give up on you

Until the day he left me

The summer that there would always be an us

 

But now those thoughts bring me pain

I would say just to protect me

I want nothing to do with you

But all I truly want is us

I want to forgive his heart that’s cold

But would he do the same for love?

 

That’s why I moved on from you

To someone who actually trusts me

And actually wants there to be an us

He takes away the pain

He makes me forget that outside is cold

To someone who knows how to care, to love

 

He is the best thing to happen to me

He’s turned life away from the cold

So now I can only see us

And when he sees I’m struggling with pain

That’s when I know this is true love

Which makes me forget everything about you

 

Who were you?

I don’t remember us!

It was only ever me

Alone in the cold

Fighting the pain

Waiting for true love

 

Love was cold

 

You never cared about me

All there’s left of us is pain.
