Visual Regret

Her tear
It fell upon her cheek
On a reddish hue it stayed
Moistening her skin
To reflective surface
To where I could see
I was to blame

How much
Pain could I have caused
Allowing her to feel this, showing
The outward sign
That all was not good
And would simply never
Be the same

I must
Dry her tears, allowing
Her to heal, not seeking definite
Forgiveness, but showing
That I see what I did
And I am truly sorry
To have hurt her

That is a terrible feeling I have known far to well in my life - I remember being brought out of the hole chained and shackled with a guard on each side into the court room and looking into my wifes eyes as the Judge sentenced me to 5 years in Prison and I had all my visitations taken away so we never even got to say another word to each other - My point is as bad as it may seem your not that bad a guy Michael - Make your amends, learn from your mistakes and love her with all you are - God Bless
