Repentant and remorseful,
You asked me for a second chance.
But thought I longed to have you back,
I knew it would not work;
And what I'd thought
We'd shared
Was gone.
It was not that I
Could not forgive;
But you were not the one
I thought I knew.
It shattered me to know
That what I'd seen as truth
Was only true
While I perceived it so;
And ever after I would be
Adrift in a murky sea
Afraid of what
Might lie below.
