I could never attempt forgiveness
nor dare I be the fool
to explain my hearts trial
and let all slip away.
I am my souls decision
for which course I do take
and in frail eyes I see you
your tears consume my ache.
Of a distant memory revield
one of white satin dreams
where the isle became our heaven
the windows of our names.
I could never attempt to say
what my heart has lost
for in doing so admits defeat
and the time which we once won.

Love lost and gained are always for a reason. Your talents always blow my mind, and this poem is no exception.
