Richard H Poet Quatrain

My Angel Renee

Each night when I go to bed
I think of all the words I've said
And ponder on the things I've  done
How your love I had once won

Many tears I've made you shed
Too many sleepless nights in your bed
When all along I owned the key
To keep your love for only me

Now its me that sheds the tears
My life now full of empty fears
You say uncertainty prevailing
Caught up in all my mistakes and failings

My love for you has never faded
Lack of commitment, your feelings jaded
Baby steps, I moved too slow
I did that because I love you so

I wanted for us the best of life,
Messy details, cleaned before you became my wife
Now lost you are, trying to find you way
My mind consumed, what to do, what to say

Now is the time to use our voice
Together or separated,  its your choice
I am beside you, can you see
You are the only one for me

The love we shared, captured all my desires
Burned hotter than the devils fires
So my Angel we both must try
To grow our love, not let it die.
