LOVE LOST

alandra

Those thoughts left unspoken that chill my soul

When I failed to speak of my love for you;

The passage of lost time is failure’s toll

And your eternal loss my payment due.



The sun cast light in your hair; a halo

Begins the cherished dream that moved me towards

That rare moment of daring; even though

You never heard my loving whispered words.



My heart so bested by folly’s anguish

With scars self created can I atone;

Now my soul’s path is stark and feverish,

We can not be, my heart will beat alone.



Only passing years will reveal the truth

Of hesitation and fear found in youth.
