a girl named regret

We been well off
Keeping time
Sleep in silence
Free from harm
Softest pillow, perfect storm
Batten the hatches and sound the alarms
No illusions
Nervous needs
Ringing flagpoles, endlessly
Look out now over the sea
The wind is right for me to breathe
What was boundless?
And what was clean?
I was just so greedy, bitter, jealous
Sorry baby, I’ve been mean
And once you tame me with your love
Now what was it we were thinking of?
Looking back over the sea
Let the waves just crash all over me Keep it coming, pen to page
All I have left, unafraid
An act on the stage
A song I will sing
A girl named regret
I will marry one day
