Those Whom...

Those with whom I've lived
those I've always loved most
     deeply and passionately

whom I wish I'd best understood
been present for
and been able to pour out myself
those for and from
whom I need forgiveness most
and carry forever forward
in heart engulfed 'mid confusion,
longing and regret;
perhaps, and only just so
it will ever be they
who move my heart
in many a name,
in many a guise,
in many a rapture
     of joy and of sorrow
