Still

Some time has passed since we met last. What's changed after all these years?

I'm still the same; bitter and lame, the source of your angels' fears.

I'm sorry for you, honest and true, and wish I could do more.

No fault but my own. And now I'm alone. I never should have closed that door.

I'd have you back tomorrow if only it would stop your sorrow, but I'm afraid there's nothing to be done.

I knew it was so. I thank you though. For pity, I can turn to only one.

You'll find no pity from me, but I still wish you could be by my side once again.

I wish it too, I honestly do. Perhaps another time, then.

You were the best of them all. I hated to see you fall. But now you've fallen too far.

I look up at you think, it happened all in the blink of an eye.

I think it too, and still remember you. How sad to think it was goodbye.

I want to come back, until I recall what I lack. It's simply too much to overlook.

That may be true, certainly of you. Think also, of all that you took.

I know I was wrong. But now I can't change my song. I'm stuck and can't change my ways.

Even I can't change this, though truly I miss your company all these long days.

I've made my choice. I can't heed to your voice. The next time we meet, it will still be bittersweet. Nothing will change, I will still be estranged. And I'll still be so lonely, and still have only my memories of brighter and better days.
