A moment in time steps aside,
Parting a curtain only I could see,
Love's Lust abated by fear,
Twisted ramblings of a mind,
Locked in yesterdays dream...

I wake,
See you standing there,
Shadowed by the Sun,
Then you fade,
When the clouds hide the light,
And I weep bitter tears,
For the memories you left behind...

My friend,
Drags me out of the gloom,
Walks me in the sunlight,
Kicking Autumn's leaves,
Scattering them like teardrops,
That float gently to the ground...

Suddenly she whispers;
"He comes!"
And reaches for my hand,
Providing a link with which
To draw strength...

But-
You stop before me,
Yank our hands apart,
Crush me to your chest,
Burying your head in my hair...

Dear God,
I smell the grief you've gone through-
And as I stare into your eyes,
It is suddenly clear-

You will torture my soul for eons-
For I can no more stop loving you,
Then you can stop loving me-
I have found my limit,
And it is thee...
