My heart is set <br />On a girl I can’t forget, <br />But she’s vanished from my eyes <br />And now only resides <br />In haunted memories <br />That never become dislodged <br />From my worn and weary mind. <br /> <br />I had great plans <br />To hold her hand <br />On the sacred ground <br />Where a priest would stand <br />And solemnly pronounce <br />She was my wife. <br /> <br />I don’t know <br />Which is worse <br />The vows never made <br />Or the vows never kept. <br />I could forgive her a thousand sins <br />If I could only see her again.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-was-my-wife/
