"You will forget me, the love we once shared Has vanished in the attempt at disguise The dreams we once knew cannot be repaired It's gone with the light that once lit your eyes" Has vanished in the attempt at disguise. Ah cruel love, how I still yearn for thee. It's gone with the light that once lit your eyes, Now I feel so blind, yet I grieve to see. Ah cruel love, how I still yearn for thee. Wretched days are no longer worth living. Now I feel so blind, yet I grieve to see. Can I try for once and be forgiving? Wretched days are no longer worth living. The dreams we once knew cannot be repaired. Can I try for once and be forgiving? You will forget me, the love we once shared. 27 April 2021 10 syllables per line checked by HMS.com Form Pantoum STANZA 5 Placed 1 Choose Your Form Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Joseph May
