At nights I cry
cry because I am without you
cry because
I had you and lost you
not once, but twice
my heart fears
can't, won't believe
or understand
this is the end
its aching hands
grasp upon
marred hope
blurred by pain and anger
yet still present
unseen yet felt
as a ghost inside
the pulsating caverns
imploring with each beat
for your return
that your heated words
passionate, ravenous touch
may re-ignite the fierce blaze
once again
to bring it to life
as from a winter's sleep
This expressed in
the unvoiced words
of my deep sighs
Come to me o' love!
that my name
may rest upon
your moistened lips
once more
at nights I cry
the pain in my eyes
the tears from my heart
for you love
for you . . .
