I asked you what I have done wrong But there is no response - just a stony silence No words can convey my guilt, my inner sadness This will be my last goodbye My final letter to you my love Tears flow down my ashen face Tears of sadness, tears of regret Drip Drip Drip Drip Tears fall on the paper as I write They mingle with the damp blue ink The inky water leaches into the paper Its colour starts to bleed and spread Until it fades into nothingness I am empty, devoid of emotion I can say no more Forgive me for being me Forgive me for caring Forgive me for loving you Goodbye forever 02~15~15

Wow!! Reading the poem and the comments. When I first got in to creative writing it was easier for me to write than to read the works of others. I could certainly relate to what you have wrote. Forgive and Forget is always challenge. I know exactly what you mean once I start writing I never know what it will be. I enjoyed the read and your comments as well.

Jan Allison

Thanks for the lovely comment Robert - I just have to go with the flow and see what happens:-) Hugs jan xxx
