My One Regret

By: Melissa Susan Hensley

I've only had one regret in life,
and that was loving you.
I should've never traded sanity
for a supposed love, so true.

Nothing is worth the agony
of losing your mind to love.
When I said I'd take the risk-
what was I thinking of?

I've tasted the sweetest thing,
been given a dose of ecstasy,
but then it was taken away.
Now there's just a shadow of me left.

I've learned nothing from this madness,
except that I need you,
but now I'm left without,
and there's not a thing I can do.

If I had kept it all inside,
if I had left it all the same,
you wouldn't have broken my heart;
I would never have felt such pain.

I finally found my soul in you;
I found a love I can't forget.
How sad that I followed my heart,
as it led to my one regret.
