Regret

The stark,    stark,    voice of regret

                Cold and fierce the sweat

                      Of stark,  stark regret

            How sad,     to be lying here

              Full of stark,    stark regret

       I had my reasons.    Oh you bet!

         But none,   so strong as regret

          Once I felt warm and sublime

                        I saw not,    my duet

Now,  from where I lay,   out of time 

                  And, in such clear reflect

                  Of my stark, stark regret

          Except,

                                The stage is set

                 So this, is how I will look

              When, they come in to see

           My regret, has run out of me
