I FORGOT TO HATE

nephilim56

The day free
Of majesty
I am weary
Rain upon
The plastic sills
Of windows 
Glass misted
My spirit shifted.

Time with
A sparkling eye
Empathy free
Cold and cruel
Gulls and crows
Fight for scraps
Violent rooftops
Alas.

The loss is great
Leaving upon my tongue
A bitter taste
As you leave
In haste
I forgot to hate.

    Emotionally resonant and quite profound . Beautiful imagery and sentiment here. Poetic and wistful. Very much enjoyed reading this one: well done! Sincerely Elizabeth
