A Regret

Оксана Линовицкая

I wish you had told me
a hideous lie,
Had left me behind
playing jokes at my cry
I would have recovered
 just after some time
But you did it your way
and that was your crime

You promised to hold me,
 But I was alone.
So often I swallowed
my tears at home.
You filled my young life
with a wordless regret
Which now has no meaning,
                because…
I am dead
