I maimed your emotions,
Induced tears in your mind,
Your senses nearly gave you up,
Because of my witless act.

You began to surmount it,
My mistake set out to drown me,
I cowardly permitted its paint flow over me,
Because I was guilty of it all.

Weeks passed by,
Months grew into years,
But the confidence I never could stir,
Because my conscience I feared.

Every blessed day that wears out,
Every night that melts away,
Your shadow passes through my mind,
Because to you my heart is tied.

I wish I corrected my mistakes earlier,
Maybe you would have repainted my world,
Procrastination killed it all,
Because I freely let you away.

Now it feels you are gone with the wind,
You have vacated the spot,
You have chosen to condense elsewhere,
Because life does not revolve just around me.

My mistakes I have realized,
I have made restitution,
But my heart still weeps,
Because you are done waiting.

I never really beat away,
Though my action presumed it,
It feels so lonely here,
Because you are long gone my reach.

I would take this as a comeuppance,
I would let my feet taste the cold you felt,
Never would I leave this delicate place,
Because the spot waits to have us back.

Happy New Month
