forevermore

reason stirs but finds no vein
the thread of you is all that remains
and I am tethered to this time and place
and my pitiful heart despairs to see thy face

I wait

for that which will never be
a moment
of sweet ecstasy

with you my soul's delight
a trap from which I cannot bridge or fight
and I turn to run
but ALL is you
and loving is all I wish to do

heart soars
fear seeps in
and it's the same old same
as has ever been
you watch my struggle
strain against the past
pour myself out
upon the lot that's cast
broken promises pull me away
whilst a tender beat urges me 'stay'

shadows creep in

and voices grow dim

and i rebuild the wall so that none can come in


especially you

though it hurts so to do

like a light snuffed out
my hope is undone at the seams
and I wish you to be no more than a sweet dream
I turn off and tone down
yet you remain vivid and rooted in my core
you
my love
my forevermore
