The Melancholic Price

It was years since

I last laid eyes on her.

Now the dreams visit me

In this dark and ruthless chamber.

Memories of her love

whirl in my mind.
Dreams of when she was mine, 

but to her I was unkind.

Time died and flew me by

and the tears fill my eyes-

Remembering

I was the one who said goodbye.

But now she’s gone

and it’s only now,
I realize that

I love her still, somehow.

I've acted so dumb.

I've been so foolish.

I am so stupid.

I'm even boorish.

I hope one day she'll forgive me, she'll stay.

But for now,

this is the melancholic price

I have to pay.
