The Saddest Lines. Poem by Fay Slimm
The Saddest Lines.
She wrote to him of her esteem
for his work.
.............. His reply seemed keen
to meet, discuss and
.............................form a scheme.
.......................
In time exchanges came to mean
so much.
................A love grew, evergreen,
which destiny could not redeem,
meant they comply
.........................with moral theme.
.......................
Her final note closed
.................... love's sweet dream.
.......................
Sensing all her thoughts,
................................. hid between
the saddest lines he'd ever seen,
were the words
................... 'It might have been'.
