Regret is a Guarantee

What do you see when you look at me

Say what you feel, I won’t disagree

One day you’ll know you held gold dust in your hand

The memories you will not be able to withstand

Clouded with doubt you forgot to love

You listened to the wrong dove

I was the best thing you ever held

And your desire will never be quelled

You get what you give

And mistakes you must relive

The truth cuts to the bone

But lies eventually you must own

So, smile as you look at me

Your regret is a guarantee
