Where to Now My Love?

                       

Days drifting slowly,

I remember and wipe away a tear.

Yes, I remember you my dear

And weep some more.

Self pity tears I hear them say

Yes, I admit I was wrong

For I was a blind man

On the errand of a fool

 

But the tears are shed for you,

The one who loved me,

The one who absolved my hurt,

The one whom I love.

You deserved better,

You who gave all,

Yet received little.

In return

 

There is truth in the saying

You do not miss what you have

Until you lose it

And I have lost all

Gained nothing.

My friends are my tears

Memories for consolation

Are only of you.

 

Days turn into night

I see you behind closed eyes

And long to be close to you

Oh to be close once again

To feel your gentle touch

To kiss your tender lips

To be entwined again

In your loving embrace

 

Blind eyes see once more

The error of the fool’s quest

I recoil from my abject stupidity

And beg your mercy

I Plead to make amends

To forsake the errant ways of youth

My love, I promise to love no other

I save my love for you

And you alone.
