This isn't exactly Dark but what they hey, it's regretful instead...

                   Our Duet

I heard your heart beat,
I could feel it,
Now there's only quietness,
How I long to feel it again.

Wrapped safe within your arms,
My head resting on your chest,
Our hearts beat in time, together or apart,
But we failed the final test.

I imagine listening again,
I imagine that and so much more,
But fate tore us apart,
Bad judgements closed the door.

One day I might feel that Rumba again,
It's a hope I carry with me,
Regardless of fate, this heart beats on,
But it longs for the duet that was you and me.

Oh... it's so sad and beautiful and totally understood. Great idea to compare a relationship to Rumba, music of love and passion...
Take care!

Isis,
  I've always believed that if we lose faith and hope, then we have nothing left.  Your poem has me thinking about these two little words that are such a cornerstone in people's lives.  Thoughtful read with my morning coffee, thank-you.  

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Eh dark, regretful?  What’s the difference anyway?  
Title drew me in, and the content didn’t disappoint.  
I’m sorry that your duet is out of commission, uh…
It’s not fair that such a wonderful person like you,
Is sad (Regretful), so hope you feel better…Lalala.

Thanks guys!~  
Sonjes - if there is one thing this lady has and will never lose is faith and hope, they are indeed the cornerstone of one's life and humanity in general!!
