I Stood

             I Stood

As I stood in front of that cold grey stone

My time with you ended and now alone

Thoughts and emotions flood my mind

Doubts, could I have ever been more kind

My selfish ways, I now think about

You required little, a touch, a thought

Some affection in some small way, was not brought

These things now haunt me and burn me

Always so busy, not paying attention or care

No flowers at your door, now my guilt to bear

My time with you so sparse but now seen so lost

This time I wasted and what a price paid this cost

I am guilty my love, my heart but did love you from day one

Never left my thoughts, just lost sight

Things more important than love and life

This demon to haunt me for the rest of time

Memories of you dancing and just being fanciful

I shall carry my thoughts of you and may they be beautiful

I should have held you, loved you, cared, as the most

Treasured person in this cruel world, time now my host

It will tease me with the thoughts you felt or went unexpressed

Until my miserable time shall come to rest

My heart to yours, for all time and place

Please forgive and take me back

Maybe not here but in some new and better place
