Love Poem: Regrets Unsaid

Regrets Unsaid




I wanted to say ... 
but I didn’t
Regrets unsaid
has my bowed head
leaving upon my barren ground
a trail of tears

I wanted to tell you ... 
but I foolishly didn’t
Contrition unsaid
is an albatross millstone
wrapped around my feeble legs
Pulling me to the depths
of a watery, unforgiven grave

I wanted to say ... 
but I didn’t
Regrets unsaid
are the mourning dove tears
of the living dead
