No Remorse Poem by Alexander Downie

When you look in the mirror do you see the bitter crack,
do you remember the good days and want them all back?
When you sleep in your lonely bed do you breath so low,
and remember a faithful lover that thrilled you long ago?

When you roll over in the night your body hot and unaware,
do you long for the comfort of a touch no longer there?
When you wake in the morning breeze to start each new day,
do you wish it would all end and the pain would blow away?
