I know this isn't a very good poem... but I wrote this when I thought that I may lose the woman I love more than any other before her... I told her a secret that I kept for so long, for no other to see, but I loved her so, I did not want to hold anything back... she felt as though I had lied to her and I felt such fear, I started to writed... all my fear and agony poured out onto the computer screen...

---------------------------------------------

Oh my angel, my truest love
Please forgive your lowly servant
For my crimes against our love
I knew not the repercussions
Only that I loved you more
Than any other on this earth
That I trust you over all others
And for those reasons, I would reveal
A dark secret, locked away deep inside
Meant to never show to prying eyes
But for my want for you to know
To show I have no reason to fear
That you know all that is my life
I broke our sacred bond of trust
I wounded your fragile heart
Bringing tears to your eyes
No torture or punishment could ever compare
To the agony I suffer here and now
To sit my dank prison without iron or stone
Knowing I’ve hurt the only one
Who has brought true happiness
Every tear, every moment of searing pain
Is the penance for my crimes against love
I cannot forgive myself for what I have done
For the pain I’ve caused, for my broken promise
But I pray to the lord above
That you may find forgiveness
For your lowly servant
Whose monument to you will forever stand
In the whole of his heart
I kneel before you now to beg
“Oh my angel, please forgive me”
quietly I sit, waiting for reply
Oh lord, please let her forgive me


Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

Lonely Shadows,
It skirts around the issue like sun-shadows of what exactly it is that needed to be forgiven,
but love is usually about what you say
and what you do not.

I'm in trouble then -- I share *everything*!
