unforgettable

i wish i could tuck this ego,
crumble to that one knee,
holding her hands,
and apologise for all the hurt,
my silly lies,
promises never kept,
while to those brown eyes stare,
for in the stormiest of times,
in unrelenting tides,
amid trembling grounds,
by my side she stood,
an alibi i could look upon,
under the judgement of men,
in cold weather,
when the clouds turned gray,
and everest winds came visiting,
her embrace,
a warmth gave,
how ungreatful was i,
never even a thank you did say,
now here in ages gone,
unpredictible october chill,
another crude reminder,
of an angel i had,
regrets,
pills once sweet,
memories of happy times,
watching the sun set,
to that western horizon,
dinner besides a burning candle,
enjoying the wax drip,
and that flame dance,
breakfast in bed served,
tears linger,
and here be i,
an aging soul,
wondering if an apology she would take,
fly back to my hold,
that chance for redemption,
one more try,
that pain to erase
