Regret
by Heather Catherine Cooley
When you told me, I couldn't talk.
My whole body just went numb.
All I could do was sit and think about how I was so dumb.
I let you tell me that you loved me
And I always thought it was true.
But your love was a lie, if I only knew.
I would have never got involved.
I should have let you go your own way.
But I was blind and played along day to day.
I really did love you,
Although your feelings weren't the same.
I realize I was stupid to take part in your game.
Now, I am alone but I am better off.
I hope you're happy with the one you have now.
I hate you, but I still love you somehow.
We can never again talk like we used to.
We won't even be friends like we always said we would,
Because you chose to play my heart just because you could.
Not only have I lost a boyfriend,
But someone who I thought I could always love and trust,
Until you messed around with her not for love, but lust.
Now that we are over I realize I was naive.
I should have believed every one when they said it wouldn't last.
But sadly and regretfully I become aware that I cannot change my
past.
I did anything and everything you asked me to do.
I was always there for you, and I thought you were the same to me.
Now I am fully aware that you were never there, now I see.
I always thought you were happy being us.
I know now that I was simply a feat for you to conquer.
But at the time I was sure we would be together not just until you
left for school, but longer.
