Regrets

To hold a lover freely with desire When they dance love's dance in purest fashion In small rooms paid for that will stoke the fire That can drain the life blood from love's passion When heartache's felt leaving scars of regret And memory's consent begins to drift The many reasons you try to forget The disillusioned love you set adrift To find you played a fool without consent And wore an actor's coat in every scene While speaking words of love you now lament To an empty soul, that you found unclean To love a lover's heart, their craven need To claim innocence, to your soul mislead 4/30/17
