Our Dalliance Has Ended
i shall never be able to forget our affection
was deep as first love, and wild as all regret-
crimson and medallion encompass my soul;
‘neath the autumn moon i still etch your silhouette
sincerity arrived and remorse soon followed,
for i needed compassion, someone to console-
i put away my lace to replace what was before,
now my poor essence shallow, my heart hollowed
o’er the mount of forgiveness is where i wish to be,
never saving a love that washes up a reverie shore-
o, if only my sweet, we could make one more connection,
maybe you would be you- and… i would be me
i shall always be frail in ways never comprehended,
must cease this pain so that i may be apprehended-
our passion could have been incredibly splendid,
all love suspended... as our dalliance has ended
2. Deep as first love, and wild as all regret - Alfred Lord Tennyson
