Let Me Atone

what do I want from you
somehow I though you knew
before you said were through
that I want all of you

I want your heart and mind
that little cute behind
your hazel eyes so kind
whatever else I find

I love yous on the phone
the quite nights at home
soft moments spent alone
please let me atone

Everyone is interested in improving in the activities of one's life. Only sinners seek atonement in life. At the fag end of life one wants peace in loneliness. For you it will be better if you keep yourself away from madding crowd than seeking atonement. You are far better than others of your circumstance in poetic ventures quite creative and entertaining here!

Cordell-
I think I need my eyes checked. I thought the title was "Let me Alone" and it kind of didn't make sense to me. Then I realized it said atone not alone and it made much more sense to me. It has a sadness to it that is palpable. Good writing.

This poem has a quality of honesty about it - sometimes wonder how much like our real selves our poems are or are they how we perceive ourselves!!!!
