Forgive me if I took the love as read
Our fate and bodies entangled together
It’s my nature to leave things unsaid
To preserve the mystery of the mussed up bed
To forge a chain that nothing can sever
Forgive me if I took the love as read
One of us has been cruelly misled
Confusion reigns as to whether
It’s my nature to leave things unsaid
Blood and love run wine dark red
Weightier than an Egyptian feather
Forgive me if I took the love as read
Desire riots barefoot in the head
I thought we would transverse the forever
It’s my nature to leave things unsaid
Perhaps everything is something instead
The resolution has to be now or never
Forgive me if I took the love as read
It’s my nature to leave things unsaid
Accepting as read , to assume without being said. I love the repetition of “forgive me”. A lovely and beautifully written poem.

Thank you Miss Heart. Thought I would try my hand at a villanelle, getting very formal in my old age. Glad you like it.
