Dark Side of Love (11-06-2004)

An apology for a youthful mistake, regret and the realisation, the love for a lost soul mate never leaves you, it only makes way for doubt and regret.

You showed no rebellion,
 always loyal and true,
‘though with shadows of sorrow
 in shades unheard.

 

No one:  Least I!
Saw sorrow in your eyes
when I left
without backward glance or word.

 

Destined to a lifetime
and a world apart.
Having lost the pleasure of you.

I find you here now, deep in my heart.

 

No longer in the flush of youth
I realise, by forgoing goodbyes.
The pain I’ll carry, as long as I live.

You took from me nothing
 

l took all you could give
