All we are

Stolen

Stolen moments and opportunities, 

The reminder repeating ceaselessly.

That is all we have, all any of us have.

Sadly true, and yet...

No, I cannot find the joy in it.

Lovers

We were meant to be more than just lovers

Sharing life, stories, hurt, and joys

But we've become nothing more than lovers

Sharing only tussled sheets, broken hearts, and tearful woes 

Nothing More

It's a ridiculously stupid and inconvenient situation 

But I want nothing more than to be loved by him for the rest of my life 

New Year

I rang in the new year

Thinking only of you:

Instead of what we could be,

What we had been.

And the sadness the overcame me

Wasn't one of loss,

But one of truth accepted.

Dreams

You don't deserve a place in my dreams. 

The hurt upon waking,

The heart-breaking slam of reality,

The loss and the betrayal, 

All come rushing back. 

Alone in my bed, 

Surrounded by pillows still grasping to your scent,

I feel you, reach out, and find only loneliness. 

Without You

Without you here, the days drag on

Hours feel like days,

Heart pounding faster, trying to drive me to you

My breath cannot come fast enough to keep up

My head spins, lost without your touch to steady me

Enough

"I've had enough," I think.

And then I think of you,

There's never enough.

Not enough of your touch,

Not enough of your lips,

Not enough of your eyes 

Burning a hole to the depths of me,

Not enough of your breath in my ear,

Not enough of my name catching in your exhale,

Not enough of you loving me senseless. 

I Feel You

Every single waking day

And every dreaming night,

I close my eyes

And in that silence,

Shut so tight,

I feel you:

Your arms around me,

The weight of you pressed against me,

Your breath in my ear,

And I find myself less alone. 

Fool Hearts

Some things are never meant to be Doomed from the start

But two fool hearts can't see that far ahead 

Try as she might she will never see 

How she got here to the corner of Broken and Alone

Beat

Broken hearts still beat,

Each piece alone to it's own rhythm.

The sound echoing deep in the soul

Until a love so strong 

Drums out a beat 

So they find their way,

And dance together.

Dreams

You don't deserve a place in my dreams. 

The hurt upon waking,

The heart-breaking slam of reality,

The loss and the betrayal, 

All come rushing back. 

Alone in my bed, 

Surrounded by pillows still grasping to your scent,

I feel you, reach out, and find only loneliness. 

She

She was clothed in laughter

She bathed in moonlight

Joy covered the soles of her feet

Her eyes shone with emptiness

Her heart fluttered to its own beat

And I fell in love at first sight 

Wrinkles

Lines lightly touching the edge of your glittering green eyes.

Caressing your full, lovely lips, are even deeper ones. 

Fear and worry mark light, crashing waves on your forehead. 

All of them make mine that much stronger.

They aren't so much a sign of old age,

As a sign of a life well loved.
