Stained tears
Ink kissed paper
The regret dried
slowly
I cannot find your faith or hope
Lost words
The heart stretched across the kind page
A cry in the darkness
For forgiveness
In tears

Very pretty and melancholy. Somewhat reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot's song "Your Love's Return."
ReplyDeleteLovely and romantically expressed!
ReplyDeleteA gem of a poem. Loved it
ReplyDeleteThe regret died slowly. beautiful.
I liked "Ink kissed paper" along with the asking for forgiveness in the poem. It says so much with each line, I really like it and can just imagine someone sitting there with one light on a desk, sitting there trying to write it.
