Do I

Do I

Do I regret?

Do I resent?

Do I recant?

Do I repent?

I remember that dark night

When you held my fingers in yours

Kept me safe and warm

Got lost in your perfect world

Some of things lurk about

Hazy memories not so distant

Dreams to keep me going

Those are far more vivid

I would if I could

But I already know I can’t

Get up off my knees

And take my final stand

I’ve tried once or twice

To send it off into the distance

But it remains tied to me

Maybe insanity, maybe persistence

So do I regret?

Try to not resent?

What can I recant?

How do I repent?

Because there is nothing I regret

And I know what I resent

I have no words to recant

And no sins to repent

They were my actions that I refuse to regret

They were your actions that caused me to resent

They were my words that I won’t recant

They were your sins that I had to repent

So for now, I will hold my own hand

I will make new memories without you there

I stood on my own two feet and took in the air

And I will untie that eternal band

Do I?

Did I?

Could I?

Should I?

Will I?

Won’t I?
