Regret

It stings like a broken bone

and gnaws at my soul

reminds me eternally

of mistakes I have made.

Like I was born condemned

to lonely solitaire.

It sickens me inside

to have listened

to the lies and deceit,

forced below the weak.

Like I was born condemned

to lonely solitaire.

And I could tear myself apart

for my stupid mistakes

I made in error.

Rip my soul from my limbs.

But thats exactly what they`d like

snuff me out before I shine

They want me to believe

I was born condemned to solitaire.
