[i left you, because i love you.]

in just a fleeting memory you were gone
my heart has collapsed and i still remain
a walking lifeless corpse.
i never knew beauty would be so painful
but i regret not.
this pain is worth a thousand pains
a hundred victories lost.

i am not sorry to have loved you
i am not sorry i still do.
i am only sorry i could not love you,
the way you would have been pleased with.

i am only sorry you cast me away...

now i sit here
enamoured with a vision from the past
delighted by a few words that may be thrown my way.

there is torture in patience
but there is treasure at the end of the waiting.
