I am not wanted on his side of the green
And so moments are missing to never be seen
But lines I’ll keep writing and say what I mean
As forests keep growing with us in between
And lost in the woods is hope it would seem
Sunlight won’t reach beyond regret
And wishing for things you never will get
When you have bet zero but still have a debt
He says you are nothing but does with a sweat
He says he’s not looking while eyes growing wet
And now vines contain our poetry
And vessels of longing out on the sea
My side of town he’s always burning
Blaming the sun for how he’s yearning
How he wants none if he can’t have all of me

Love this line: “Sunlight won’t reach beyond regret”
Another reason why we should not carry that with us. 😊

Thank you so much Michele! I’m glad you like this line, and thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting, I appreciate it! Letting go is hard but I think living with regret kills the light inside.
