Apologetic Eyes
I awoke all alone; she snuck out late
last night, and my fragile heart is breaking.
She'd silently slipped out, without debate;
and as my world shook, I was left quaking.
Her lingering scent was still in the air;
making me instantly regret our fight.
For ebony shadows merge with despair
when there is no light; for shadows need light.
She left a note, written with words of Hope,
a reminder of the good times we've shared.
And as I read it, her words wove a rope
that pulled at my heartstrings, saying she cared.
I nervously rushed to her, head hung low,
and begged her not to throw our love away.
And asked her why she felt she had to go,
what could I say to convince her to stay?
As my apologetic eyes leaked tears,
I sought forgiveness with my heart and soul.
And she gently kissed me, calming my fears;
my heart had shattered; that kiss made it whole.
