Why do I feel
So low, down and out?
As I lay in bed
Next to the love, of my life
Wanting to hold her
As her body, I wish to caress.
~*~
To be able to taste
What love used to be
When we were young
Passionate nights, we shared
As her whispers
Fueled
Longing of wanting ecstasy.
~*~
Now she lays, next to me
A million miles away
Staring into the unknown
So Far Away, Again today
With a blank, passionless face.
As I wondered
How we ever got there
To this ugly pace.
~*~
No woman
Could hold, a candle to her
I've never, loved another
As in my youth
I craved.
~*~
I don't remember approaching
This fork in the road
Not loving her
Never bloomed, in my thoughts
This feeling of hurt
Now resides, deep inside my soul.
~*~
It's not, like the love
I feel for the rose
That brings happiness
Before withering away.
~*~
Yet, we still love her
As she blossoms
In our memories
in days by gone.
~*~
A love denied
To a man, that worships
A woman's love,
Opens doors
To hated moments
Long thought, a dormant beast
Sealed, in an aching heart
As we lay so near,
Yet, So Far Apart.
