No Take Backs

*****Please read LEFT column, then RIGHT column, then the last stanza is the BOTTOM MIDDLE********

                                                      Sorry for the confusion

                    No Take Backs

We were friends                            Anger motivates me

We became close                          Fear holds me back

Then you lied to me                        Both compete

You hurt me                                  Neither is good

We stopped talking                        I don’t know what to do

No take backs                              No take backs

But no regrets                              But no regrets

If what happened never did,            I pushed too much

I’d still be there                            For I am sorry

Now I’m here                                I needed to know the truth

The places are different                About how and why

It’s worse now                              I will never receive those answers

No take backs                            No take backs

But no regrets                              But no regrets

You’re like a paper cut                  I’m trying to move on

Not deep, but painful                    Pretend it never happened?

No need for a Band-Aid                Or work through it?

Just let it be                                Run away or forever at war?

Maybe I’ll forget                            It’s up to you

No take backs                              No take backs

But no regrets                              But no regrets

                        It makes me sad

                        To think about what we had before

                        It was comforting

                        To know you were there for me

                        Thank you for trying

                        No take backs

                        But no regrets
