Regrets
Crowded days
Lonely nights
I wish you were by my side
***
Stroke of night
Hold me tight
Pull me in your arms tonight
***
Speed of light
Pace of flight
Blur the lines of time and tide
***
Drunken plight
Lost my might
Pity I let you off my sight.
***

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Poignant and love the rhyme. It's very beautiful. It's been a while since I have read a short elegy.
I love the rhyming in this, it adds something special to an already beautiful piece. Absolutely beautiful and powerful and yearning. Well done.
Such a simple but beautiful expression of regret. The rhyming somehow addded to the poignancy ot it 🤍
I liked this. Somehow you framed regret in such a beautiful way!
