Regret

I realized I wanted to unravel
I should have kept holding on
The overflowing, flowing things
Must be the same color as you on that day

I gathered up the words you abandoned
Repeatedly nodding as I listened
In the neon pink that accompanies loneliness I can't find you
My screams eventually echoed, laughing at my ridiculous self

I realized I wanted to unravel
I should have kept holding on
The overflowing, flowing things
Felt just like you on that day

I gathered up the tears you shed
Trying to cloud my vision as I cling desperately

The red flowers that have withered
Under the pierced ears we shared
Wearing the ring we shared
With the lipstick we shared
Wearing the same color hair as you
I saw the tears we shared
Screaming out your name

The tranquility that spreads to my fingertips is fleeting
The two of us from before still holding hands

Inside the wet end roll
The monochrome film doesn't play
What remains in these tired hands
Is the fleeting, fading image of you

The desire to unravel suddenly broke
Gathering up the words and sleeping
The overflowing, flowing things
Surely lead to you and me

Dreams remain dreams forever
Tranquility always within dreams
