Do you gaze upon
The candles flame
Or rectify
Or try to blame ?
Each memory
A page in book
Or do you close eyes
Refuse to look ?
When company
Have left for home
Leaving silence
In monotone
A deep breath
From your bosom to rise
Remembering
Those distant times.
Is it with fondness
Or bitterness still
That thought provokes
Or lost the will ?
To tread but softly
Forgiveness bare
Your footstep upon
A lonely stair.
