What Have I Done

I should have knocked instead,

of bursting in like this to your homestead.

Maybe I should have called on you yesterday,

to tell you that this is just a habit of mine,

a secret I held onto so dearly,

A part I do daily and so daily.

When the grip of life grows tight,

when they begin to dim the light,

I play this game to release the pressure,

to find the solution...

as if the answer lies in the lines.

I must search each alphabet,

I must toss the words up and about,

now look at what I have done.

I should have written a letter instead,

of calling and saying this to your face.

Maybe I should have sent someone else,

to ease you in before you heard what I say.

I know I should not have made this mistake,

I should have talked to your friends,

told them to pass on this message.

But now, do I have a choice?

Forever you will never hear my voice,

singing to you this beautiful song,

instead I'll be left with a single memory,

of a love so sweet I'll be regretting,

cursing the day I looked into your eyes,

and spelled out all the words that were lies,

now look what I have Done.
