Eton Langford Poet Rhyme

Mistake

Before I left you, all I wished
    Was hidden far within,
As if your love had never been. 

I ran away to see the world
    And then forgot your name,
Although you never did the same. 

I then returned and all came back—
    My memories of you—
While you were steadfast, good and true. 

I found you waiting, keeping watch—
    And praying I’d return—
With not a candle left to burn. 

And then I sensed my grave mistake
    Of leaving you behind,
Of being youthful, rash and blind. 

I feared your punishment, but you
    Said nothing, while your tears
Ran down your cheeks and quelled my fears.
