Nightfall brings its burdens. Large packages of regrets Sitting by my bed wailing like banshees. They call my name all through the night. Rest is but a distant dream now. I see her in the moonlights bloom. Beautiful and poised her half smile touching the edges of her mouth. I respond as usual to her figure So soft and alluring so much desire. Reaching for her from half sleep I hear myself begging for her to come to me. Accepting all the blame It was me. always me, only me. She is clearer now I can the color of her bright blue eyes. Donβt go I say please God do not go. But the clouds fade the moon's glow. In the darkness she disappears once more And all that is left of her is my wailing of regret.
