Shedding Regret

I found this poem at last tucked in one of my journal entries...I guess it was supposed to be a song, but I can no longer remember the tune...ah well... it was written a few years ago and it kept repeating in my head. So here it eeeessssss...... :-P Jan. 4, 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cry for help there's no reply I know that I'm alone once more I hope, I wait, I pray, I cry kneeling to the bloodstained floor The blood I shed for your dark fate Is nothing that can be repaid For the love you gave so true...so pure That now seems nothing anymore I long to hear your steady breathing My head pressed against your chest To hear your heart slowly beating Never hesitating to rest (those days are gone...) The blood I shed for your dark fate Is nothing that can be repaid For the love you gave so true...so pure That now seems nothing anymore Now I wait in this dark room Hoping you will come to free me Hearing whispers in the gloom Cold breath brushing right behind me (can it be you?) The tears I shed for your dark fate Is nothing that can be repaid For the love you gave so true...so pure That now seems nothing anymore

the past repays unbridled thought, and yet we want them near, old passion no longer even bought, but memories sure can cheer. sometimes:(
