ouch...

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.
