Thoughts of Regret

[bigwurm101]

For so long this place has haunted me, mocked me -
calling out that weakness we knew i wouldn't overcome.
Advancing slowly, my legs give way in the rocky soil.
Swiftly met by that familiar, unwelcome guest
"Its been a while... did you think you could run forever?"

for a time i believed you would keep me safe
those quiet nights on the mountain, whispering softly
nothing could have stopped us in that moment
how naive i was back then
silent as something changed in you...
...a change in me.
the quivering of our voices giving us away

I had never planned it, but thats how it happened.
Things went so wrong so fast, and here i sit
hopelessly welcoming it.
"Why do you taunt me so!? End this charade!
For years I've felt your presence here, ruining me.
Always in the back of my mind, ruining me.
Take what you will and leave me in peace!"

now it seems, fate has had one last laugh
for peace is no closer now than it was
all those years ago...
