A Poem To A Love I Let Slip Away Poem by Matthew Holloway

A poem to a love I let slip away
It was with careless hands
I held and failed to look after
Blind eyes I turned away my gaze
To stare into a nothingness
Foolish steps with which I walked away
I betrayed the day and the night
With such selfish ease
That time may never forgive
And the rain and rivers may come
To wash away all I knew
Those memories that remain
Will linger with regret and remorse
Perhaps this love was never meant to last
But I should not have treated it so
I plead forgiveness to nature and life
I pray for wounds to heal
And to the love I let slip away
I wish only for you to find
A happier way
