Forgive Me Poem by Eloida Capuno

forgive me i looked past you
pretended i didn't hear
the beckoning of love
i longed for in years

forgive me if these eyes
are both blind to see
and these ears fall deaf
to the harkings of your plea

forgive me that this heart
no longer beats as free
if these lips have dried up
and puckered constantly

forgive me if my songs
have lost its melody
and my poems don't rhyme
the way they used to be

forgive me if those smiles
have ceased and gone awry
and how so cold and jaded
that i have grown to be

forgive me for this life
running on empty
no longer whole no longer me
torn apart and broken
the pieces blown by the wind
of uncertainty
