Regretful Release

This pain you created is pure torture
Yet I'm still not angry enough to torch her

Darkness all I have left to embrace
Every woman I see, I see your face

It keeps my body warm, even with my cold heart
Each second we're not together, tears me apart

Tattered and broken, left to rot
Loves torturous trap had me caught

Released again, I'm free to roam alone
Still a sliver inside wishing you'd come home

I know I'm better off in one way
But I miss the illusion of happiness, I must say

It wasn't all bad, I know you loved me at one time
There was a brief moment, you were glad to be mine

If not but slightly I hope, part of me lingers
Memories of our tightly wound fingers

The joy you felt, you knew you were my queen
You knew with every word, it's what I mean

No man will ever love you as I do
To even think different makes you the fool

I loved you for who you were, not what you became
To lose what we had is such a great shame

A day will come that you will have regret
And I know it'll be me, you'll never forget
