Guilt

The grief pulls on him
The guilt tears him apart
He had loved her
With his soul and his heart

Perhaps that is why she is gone
Perhaps he has caused this
His love for her
Had led her amiss

She had been so immersed in him
And he in her
They had failed to notice
They had not observed

The changes that came over her
The coughing, the fainting, the pain
Fading slowly
Never the same

I want to thank everyone who has read these works. They are my first attempt at poetry and your response to them has been very encouraging. Thank you!
This poem is fourth in the series, I am not sure how many there will be; I write when the muses strike me. Lots of Love.
