placate the thoughts in your mind
he once said in a loving voice
a moment of weakness to remind
the love he shared was the most

return to me, my love
she replied endearingly
a wish she could not dispose of
-for he had loved her whole-heartedly

forgive me for my action
he would plead with her
but this failed love transaction
could not bring back her whisper

he turns to night's embrace
with tears painfully stricken down,
the emotions distorting his face,
for he had left her to drown

in dearest to the one he adored-
these fruitless actions will he forever abhor
