Loves Regrets
As pure as a frozen waterfall
Dissolving in spring
My winter heart melted at your touch
I gave you my all
I sparkled like effervescent water
My youth blossomed
Like springs dawning
Filled with light and joy
My soul I dedicated to you
I bled for you
Like a red, red rose unfolds its bud
At the warmth of the sun
I longed for your embrace
Your ardent advances-
Your deep kisses reached my depths
Unveiling me – I yielded all
Your hands held my heart
So tenderly - at first
Your love grew me
I so yearned for you
My one and only - true love
Until your longing for me
Turned to lust-I wasn’t enough
To gorge your appetite
You became like a darkened well
That couldn’t be filled
You grew bitter and discontent
Enraged you grabbed and destroyed-
You tore to pieces the very love you craved
Crushing it beneath your sullied feet
I lay bruised and tattered by your abuse
There is nothing left in this broken heart-
Are you satisfied? Is your longing quelled?
Look at what is left of my beauty
You once called, your noble, red, red rose
