Forgive the shadows of my words.
The silence fell like winter's cold embrace,
A sudden storm upon your gentle grace.
My dearest Frances, keeper of my heart,
I never meant to tear our peace apart.
With every tear, the violins lament,
For every thoughtless word that I have sent.
Frances, my love, my anchor in the dark,
Return to me, rekindle this sweet spark.
For fold by fold, my soul belongs to you,
Forgive the heart that only beats to love you true.
The grand piano weeps in minor keys,
As I surrender to these memories.
Your tender hand, your ever-patient smile,
Let us rebuild across this painful mile.
I stand before you, stripping all my pride,
To find my sanctuary by your side.
Frances, my love, my anchor in the dark,
Return to me, rekindle this sweet spark.
For fold by fold, my soul belongs to you,
Forgive the heart that only beats to love you true.
Forgive me, my Frances...
My eternal love.
