I have despaired
Over every inch of you
And had you cared
I would have followed you
Over every inch of you
My tongue bears witness to the lies that I have told
I would have followed you
Would have stayed by your side as we grew old
My tongue bears witness to the lies that I have told
I remember a time when I thought I
Would have stayed by your side as we grew old
And never thought to question why
I remember a time when I thought I
Should've given to you without recourse
And never thought to question why
I could not live without remorse
Should've given to you without recourse
Everything I wished to do
I could not live without remorse
Over every inch of you
Everything I wished to do
My joy, my shame, but had I dared
Over every inch of you
I have despaired

Oh you have done a wonderful job with this form, I can find no fault. Well done and it flows so well. Excellent write. I shall have to read more of your poetry if this is what you consider old stuff.
