Memories filter back into my mind
Those sweet caresses stolen over time
Your hands exploring every subtle curve –
For brief moments we melted into one.
You have slipped away, but I still can
Remember.
Tag heartache
Missing You
Is our friendship really over
Is it time to say goodbye?
Will I never hear your voice
And will I never see your eyes
Why does my heart
Still ache unceasing
Even when my mind commands
To let you go
I think on you
I think of you
I wonder where you are
Tonight
My heart still loves you
My soul will love you
My body craves to be
Wherever you could be
Tonight
Stranglehold
Is my heart allowed to break
When I have everything I need
Is my heart allowed to cry
When my blessings overflow
Are the tears allowed to fall
When I have all that I desired
Can I feel the taste of regret
For choosing a path so narrow
That somewhere, somehow
The path would close in on me
Leaving me with a struggle
To breathe
Where Are You?
Will I hear
Your voice again
Will I see
Your face once more
Will I look
Into your eyes so blue
Will I feel
Your arms so strong
Will I know
Your presence near
Will I ever
See you again
Will we always
Be apart?
Gone
The joy I felt
When you came into my life
Was nothing compared to
The pain I felt
When you left
In the darkness
I remember times we shared
You were here
And now you are gone
It cuts through me –
A hole in my soul
Swept Up
We found each other
One night so many moons ago
I ran through the city
I ran to you
My friend, my lover, my strength
I ran into your arms
And without saying a word
We loved
The last time I felt your lips
Your strong arms lifting me off my feet
I never wanted to leave
I never wanted you to leave
But you placed me back down
Gently
Finally
Firmly
And left
Leaving
I have to go, I said
I don’t want you to, she replied
Please don’t go, she asked
I gave her a hug
Felt her soft shiny hair
Looked into her blue eyes
Turning around
I walked out the door
To a pain in my heart
And tears unspilt
Forever Farewell
I said goodbye to a friend of mine
So I could walk into my future alone and free
And I knew the goodbye would be forever
That never would I hear the voice of that soul
Again, but in my dreams a voice sounds out
To me, and when I awake, the voice so clear
Is of an old friend of mine, a friend I chose to
Forever farewell
Fake Charm
Take a look at me
At my eyes and my face
And you will see
That I am a shell
Of the person I used to be
From when you entered my life
Uninvited and unannounced
And left again, a whirlwind
Of destruction, leaving your
Fake charm and smile
Fluttering in my heart
Like autumn leaves
Blowing in the wind
