Unfinished Conversational Rondeau
Forgive Me, Love
Forgive me, Love, for words unsaid -
for letters written, never read -
for poems I write and then erase-
for all the walls I keep in place -
For barriers I've built in dread.
Some fantasies are best unfed,
some truth's are tales that liars spread.
Some day I'll leave without a trace.
Forgive me, Love.
For dragons underneath my bed -
for demons writhing in my head -
for all my strange and savage grace -
for every tear that streaks my face -
for all the fears I'll never shed -
Forgive me, Love.

I always love rondeaus and villanelles; the repetition and rhythm, I guess. The last stanza is especially good, and I love the line "for all my strange and savage grace."
the words of your poem are so true in my life at the moment. i liked it.
