Impending Forever
…………………………………………………………………..

I can feel the tremble
Of your hands,
As you reach for warmth
To chase the chill…
From your heart.

I can feel your craving desire
To find the love and peace,
Needed to put your
Heart to rest…
Away from the unsettling
Loneliness that haunts you.

I can feel the impending
Persecution of your heart,
Driven into existence…
By paranoia and those
Untrue to your heart…
In the past.

I can feel the duel
Between voices of
Conscience and emotion,
And your struggle
To decide…
Which to trust.

Let me brush,
The veil of your hair
Aside…so I may see
Your eyes…
Weeping with fear.

Look into mine
And see my truth…
No guarantees,
No claims of forever…
Only honesty to feed
Your needs of now…

Perhaps forever will follow.
