rsvp regrets only

"I regret that I can't come

I regret the moment we met

and the way you pretended

I regret the sun that day,

it's warmth so artificial,

and I regret the way pain

has taught me nothing.

I regret this invitation,

it's phony formality, it's ink

coming off like sin

on my clean fingers.

Since the day I met you,

I regret everything."
