Damage has been done <br />Time cannot be erased <br />The frown you placed on her face cannot be replaced <br />Hurt caused by your selfishness <br />You caused her change <br />And when tomorrow comes you’ll dwell in your mistake <br />Realize then it is too late <br />Her love for you as dull as flames at day <br />While yours; burning brighter than the new morn sun <br />You will realize what you have given away <br />Realize you took too long <br />Love decided not to wait <br />And ultimately you chose your fate <br />The heart of the one you love conquered by another <br />And the tears shed has been wiped away by your replacement <br />Her heart has been mended and the door is now closed <br />Time has elapsed <br />She is no more yours <br /> <br />Copyright © 2008<br /><br />Rachael Hardy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/regret-26-12-08/
