Forgive And Regret

 By Dominic Jones

Tear-streaked cheeks and sorrowful eyes

 I want you to know you've made me realize

 The mistake I've made once again

 And how I've paid for it

 I moved too fast and it didn't last

 Our future together is falling apart

 And I'm writing this straight from my heart

 I guess I'm just going through a trend

 And I'm asking you if you'll still be my friend

 I hope we learn from my mistakes

 Because when I think of you, my whole body aches

 I guess I'm not ready to take it slow right now

 But I don't want you just tossed aside

 Like slush in the way of a snowplow

 I still care for you and wish you the best

 I think I should grow up and fly from the nest

 I guess maybe it's in our best interest to say good-bye

 But something tells me I'll start to cry

 As I end this poem with a solemn farewell

Let your heart ring out like a church tower bell
