Remorse in Moonlight
You enjoy this rii, and I watched you smile away, I leaned close once, believing lust could bind us whole, Now shadows fall where laughter used to play, Me craving for your attention, yet losing hold. Your silence answers all the questions I can't face, I carry empty echoes of our former grace. Me drooling all over you, once careless, bold, and blind, I taste the guilt of fingers that betrayed your trust, A hunger that took more than love could ever find, Now every tender mark becomes a shard of rust. I press apologies like paper to my chest, But paper folds and cannot heal what's left. You enjoy it riii — that memory cuts like glass, I trace the distance where your warmth used to lie, Regret writes lines across my hands and through the past, I beg forgiveness in the hush of every sigh. If penance could remake the time I let us fall, I'd give my voice, my touch, my all — to hear you call.
