Have You Read Mea Culpa (L)

Poems of heartbreak will still sing soft lullabies down through the ages. Here's but another.

Salute.




Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.


Although you left me
One night for another
Leaving me forever to sit alone in the dark

Castaway to wander lonely streets
Always forsaken and painfully apart

Even though your golden wedding ring
Still adorns my finger

And tendrils of our beloved treasured
Memories still linger

Despite through stealing the heart
Of a younger stranger
Leaving me
Heartbroken

Feeling rejected and neglected
Like an adolescent teenager

Mea Culpa
It was all my fault

I just loved you too much
