How pitiful of me To carry your heart In my own When I know it beats A somber tone How credulous of you To speak to heavens So lovingly about us Urging for my return As footsteps we heard Walked past each other And not a hint of love Exchanged a look Perhaps it's best How clueless we are-- Unprepared to mend Two broken hearts December 19, 2018 Placed first in contest #530 by Brian Strand
