The Road Less Taken Is Usually Rougher

The Road Less Taken Is Usually Rougher

I wish I could forget you
I wish I never let you close
If we lost touch and stayed that way
Far better paths I would have chose

I should have known before we started
That nothing would be fair
I wish I never let you touch my heart
And leave your handprints there

For when you took your hands away,
You dug your claws right in,
And tore asunder tender flesh
in white-washed, white-hot sin

O'er the years now remitted,
Something's missing from my soul,
Wounds that never quite get closed,
I guess I'll never be quite whole
