I forgive you to forgive myself
For I longed for you
Knowing always that you are not in my fate
I considered you my destiny.
Every time I realize you are far
And you were close never
I find you nearer.
That’s why I regret not
For loving you lot.
As this life is short
I’ll spend it with your thought.
And in the next life
And all the other lives that we’ll get
I want you to be mine.

A very deep and thought provoking piece of work... you most have loved this person very much.... true love never died.. I am a living witness of that... It goes to the grave and beyond... For my mind set I'm playfully called by my family a dreamer... I don't get upset by this description because, I am one... If I were not a dreamer... I could have made thru my life.... I can tell by your words there is also some dreaming in you... I hope you accept this as the compliment as it is being given... It's shows in your writing... Your words seem to come from the heart... I enjoyed reading this poem..

Good work on the title "Fatal Mercy"

Lovely interpretation of the picture, elegant word choice although the couplet "That’s why I regret not
For loving you lot." seems a bit out of kilter with the flow of the rest of the piece. Best wishes and thanks for entering. -
