a.k.a. Remorse

by

Robert Cameron Hazelton

She had Amber/Green eyes,
Her complexion like dew
On the freshest of mornings
When the World was still new.

I felt love in my heart,
Yet a pain in my soul
For our moments together
Would soon be, no more.

The sky was afire
On that last of our days,
As were our passions
Which shamelessly blazed.

Our joy was so innocent
So full of abandon,
The despair I’d soon feel
Was quite hard to imagine.

Looking back on it now
That I’m a bit more seasoned,
I realize my pain
Had it’s own kind of reason.

For the pain of yesterday
Becomes the wisdom of tomorrow,
We can’t begin to savor joy
Until we’ve fully tasted sorrow.

With each passing day
This sad truth becomes so clear,
Causing me to quietly dread
Seeing her again some year.

For when I look into those Amber/Green eyes,
And behold that complexion like dew,
The pain in my soul I thought I had lost
Will start it’s hurting anew.
