Sleep doesn’t come and I’m still awake,
Trying to find where I made my first mistake,
But playing the past in my head isn’t like living it,
If only I could walk backwards with memory intact,
I might find my heart and take it back,
Not knowing I shouldn’t be giving it,
Somehow I managed to ignore all the signs,
Forgetting to read your heart between the lines,
And now I’m in a self-made predicament I can’t escape,
Pacing between the drops of rain outside my door,
Looking to discover answers on a ground I can’t explore,
Trying to mend my stupidity with water-proof tape,
I can’t build back the bridges we’ve burned,
Just walk away with the lessons I’ve learned,
And make up for all the wisdom I lack,
With all that time gone down the drain,
I know I’ll never be the same,
And my only regret being that I can’t take it back.
