An ending is so important... I was completely hooked and flowing here and then your last four lines slapped me.
"Now there was
no apologies
no regrets
no doubt"
perhaps I nitpick and perhaps within the body of the poem instead of the end I would not have been bothered, but
I wanted this to read "Now there were...", with the last line going plural: "...no doubts." or changed to "Now there was / no apology / no regret / no doubt."
You talk of a singular doubt, so I think the poem would be so much stronger for me if it read as:
"Now there was
no apology
no regret
no doubt."
What do you think? Again, I liked the poem, only this little thing at the end bothered me.
