~Lonely~

regrets and recovery

~ Lonely ~

Reflection on past mistakes,
as I lay in bed alone.
So many things that I regret,
I wish that I'd have known.

I think that one thing really comes to mind,
is the choices that I've made.
So many times I should have gone ,
But I chose to stay.

wonder if it was weakness,
I'm sure it wasn't love.
maybe the fear of being alone,
But when push came to shove.

I always became strong somehow,
I did what I had to do.
Sometimes it was for me and the kids,
and sometimes for others too.

I walk in the night alone,
and think I'm almost where I need to be.
but tonight it doesn't stop the feelings,
nothin hurts more than being lonely.
