I Resign

Remember when we danced across the floor
Scuffing black marks across the glossy wood
Pressing our palms together--
That was the last time. 

That night.  Oh the regret!
Scant chance I will forget,
And oh! Such scars naught time abate,
In my memories you await. 

And this is another sleepless night thinking of you

Crying for what I couldn't do--
Darling, please forgive me
For not being enough for you.

I remember
Your hand in mine
For the last time--
I cry, then into

The night
I resign.
