Craven tears stream from the memory Staining sallow skin with shame Sands of love spill through my fingers I only have myself to blame I thought I could exist without you Leave before you claimed my heart Shredded pride betrayed by folly The lesser hurt – to be apart Yet, nights go by, you never leave me Haunting, silent in my dreams Tortured whispers traipse around me Mocking mire of agony Self inflicted wounds re-open Every time I seek your face Taloned words still leave their markings Mind me of my chosen place In bitterness, I despise my weakness In loneliness, I pray for your return In emptiness, I chastise the memory Of cherished thoughts that make me burn I know I’ve lost your fragile heart And for my kiss you’ll never mourn Just add me to your book of sorrows A mistake of passion borne But, also, know that still I need you Know that shame has sealed my mouth Know that if you’d ever forgive me My love, you’ll never have to doubt Sheila |

Sheila, it is so hard to live with the regrets. Know that you did the best you could, and be well. Sandra |

I have found this myself Sheila...sometimes it takes a while for us to appreciate someone or perhaps losing them brings the feelings to the surface....James |

Yes I have swam this ocean myself, Great way of expressing a regret Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Sad indeed I know what you went through here.. I slept and dreamed that life was beauty was thy dream then a shadowy lie? -ESH- |
