RESENTMENT.

You ask for summer instead of cold weather,
But that can never be,
The passion that once so bound us together,
Forever is dead in me.
O yes! I loved and sought to discover
To you my heart's distress,
But the love you cheaply gave to another,
Turned mine to bitterness.
It is now too late; and past forever
The time to gather in
The ties of love and bind together,
The life that might have been.
