National Poetry Month: To You Alone

To You Alone

To you alone I write
pen my thoughts and heart
Here, alone, at night

Faithful words, yet, finite
my love’s flawless art
To you alone I write

My emotions, they take flight
round and round they dart
Here, alone, at night

I still love you, oh, despite
betrayal and worlds apart
To you alone I write

How I played your acolyte,
now last regrets I chart
Here, alone, at night

I sigh, under candlelight
and no wisdom I impart
To you alone I write
Here, alone, at night
