I told you I
would
forever want to
ask your forgiveness.
Seemed typical of a man
sensing a weakness
he would seek
only her compassion.
I never had the chance
a full explanation
why I did love you
because your compassion …
held me together
when in your eyes I could
feel love
you had found my soul.
I cannot just let go
I want rather a slow
natural departure
even you might not know.
