there are cobwebs in my house
that only i can see.
sometimes i think i weave them myself
and blame spiders
for their intricacies.
regrets settle like dust
in a house left unkept.
oblivious to what the past would weigh
i let it bury everything.
and i'll never know
what could have been
there are memories i wish i made.
i want you to know
what you mean to me
i won't let my regrets speak for me.
i wish this house was better lit.
i wish that i could see myself.
i miss mirrors in the eyes of friends
they tell truth without a single sound.
and i'll never know
what could have been
there are memories i wish i made
i want you to know
what you mean to me
i won't let my regrets speak for me.
and you never knew
because i couldn't speak
of opportunities i let escape
i wish you could know
what you mean to me
i won't let my regrets speak for me.
