Crime and punishment error and

Crime and punishment
error and trial
what wouldn’t I do
to see you smile
How many times over
must I re-live
that moment of crisis -
what wouldn’t I give
to so something over,
not do it at all
instead of disharmony
living in thrall
The planet keeps turning
the sun sometimes shines
but I suffer the darkness
your anger consigns
to me.  Both of us wonder
how long this will last -
perhaps it will linger
as long as the past.
