Speechless

Speechless 

Answer me!

Oh, poet laureate

of my heart’s domain!

Return!

Return from where

no one ever did

nor ever does,

I do but insist.

The beloved mate

you sought without

was within to find 

one with your soul

you never looked;

so you lament.

Why did you not?

She stood by you 

in your despairs 

in your hopes of love;

never you did in hers;

so you lament. 

Why did you not?

Childhood playmate

infused joy,

unalloyed

in fun and games;

made your time possible 

to while carefree away 

She secretly threaded 

notes in earnest

your songs of happy

oh, your songs of sad;

never you but sang her song;

so you lament.

Why did you not?

You poesed of regrets many

not though of apology any

to your beloved, 

to your friend, 

to your soulmate.

Why did you not, 
why, indeed, did you not?

Answer me!
