about remorse, that lingers ... please rate and/or review!

Remorse and regret
How I wish to forget
the mistakes I have made
or better yet, return
to a space and time
when we were more
than just fine.

Should I hold out hope
that things will be
as they should,
or have we all done
the best that we could?

Is it time to unwind,
Can absence make a heart
grow out of its mind?
Am I clinging to something
we can no longer find ...

There's a feeling in my stomach
that won't go away,
There's a mind in my senses
that wants it to stay.

There were so many chances
for this lasting pain
to be taken away,
Will they ever appear again?

My life that was willing
to give itself for yours,
Thought it was meant
to walk through different doors.

And now it is lost
and all that it's got
Is a feeling in my stomach
that won't go away,
There's a mind in my senses
that wants it to stay.

How I miss my words
that used to say,
My alibis will never again
mislead us in our ways.
I wish I was saving
the eyes that are reading
these words that once promised
eternally beautiful days.
