Teresa Altman’s - “Repentance”

   Posted by: edcoet   in Poetry


Your touch I feel subsiding
Your presence no longer near.
Tell me why the one I love
So faint I cannot hear.

Your silence is so deafening
I strive to hear your voice.
The once delightful melody
is now a silent noise.

I long to hear your laughter.
Your song I grieve today.
The loving sound of guidance,
not here, is gone away.

My loneliness consumes me.
Repose within is spent.
Until your voice I hear again,
my withered heart laments.

What have I done to lose you?
Where, in our love, did fall?
I must have caused between us,
transgressions after all.

I knew your love unblemished,
no spot with you reside,
But loneliness now bruises
my heart, with sin I hide.
I heeded not your warning,
with sin you cannot live.
Repentance is my only hope
Will you, with love, forgive?

I must regain your presence
confess my hidden sin.
Wash clean my heart with love’s refrain
And bring your song back in.
