The One That Matters Belongs to You
Villanelle of Regret
Many the hearts I've trampled through
One that causes me the most guilt
The one that matters belongs to you
*
There are times I wish I could start anew
Scales of my destiny I could tilt
Many the hearts I've trampled through
*
Pain to so many I've caused, it's true
But the one that pierces to the hilt
The one that matters belongs to you
*
Misery and suffering are my just due
I broke down walls that you built
Many the hearts I've trampled through
*
No matter the amount of blood I drew
and blooms I've watched wither and wilt
The one that matters belongs to you
*
Little respect have I worked hard to accrue
When my actions have impacted like silt
Many the hearts I've trampled through
The one that matters belongs to you
*
Thanks for reading!
