carry on keats

even though
my heart aches
and a drousy numbness
pains my senses

I continue to seek
the depth of your jade green eyes
the pulse of your soul
beating with mine

I seek  the touch
of your hand
the feel of your back
the heat of your breath

please
forgive me
please
come back

    This poem is aching beauty.
    I sure hope she reconsiders! Would sending her this help?

    Good luck,

  3. I liked this but chiefly because it led me to the poem before! I thought that was very pithy and absolutely right even if said tongue-in-cheek!
