Regret Message
Lizz Robinett
Far away at the shore, in a town beside the sea
Alone stands a girl, staring longingly
It is here, at the shore, that she holds unto her chest
A secret she dare never speak
“If you write a wish upon a paper and you place
It into a glass bottle
And it’s washed away by the ocean then someday
There’s a chance that it may just come true”
Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves
A message containing a wish was made
Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away
Through the darkest of days, you were always by my side
No matter what I would say, you would abide
Constantly I let my selfishness take control of me
And caused you a life full of grief
But now, all because of the mistakes that I have made
You’re no longer here with me
In order to get all this pain off of my chest
I must spill my woes into the sea
Drifting farther away, little wish upon the waves
With eyes full of tears, she regrets those days
It is then that she realizes this
Her sin has taken everything away
Drifting farther away, riding swiftly on the waves
A message containing a wish was made
Heading steadily toward the horizon
And gradually fading away
Drifting farther away, little wish upon the waves
With eyes full of tears, she regrets those days
If the day comes that we are reborn again
