Kurt Philip Behm

Your Tour De Force

You say it never mattered 

you say you never cared

You say you never meant it

you say it wasn’t shared

 

You tell me that you’re leaving

the price of love too high

You tell me what you’re taking

— that final last goodbye

 

With sorrow I resent you

with sorrow I decry

With sorrow you brought heartache

with sorrow all your lies

 

Regret will be your suitor

regret to long reside

Regret will be your tour de force

— regret you cannot hide
