Letters of Love, Regrets, & Secrets

I tremble in the dark, looking for ghosts
In the fleece that you left on my shoulders.

Those nights were beautiful, just you and me,
But you skipped away like a stone and sank.

Our hearts are like prisons when we’re alone
And I’ve been lost at sea like a rogue ship.

To taste you, the ocean, only a drop--
You would linger on my lips forever.

I should have done better to keep you close,
And if luck be my friend, I still have hope.
