when once you seemed so close
sometimes now you seem so far away
I am reaching out with sorrowed heart, and the emptiest of arms
the same arms that once held all of this worlds charms
it is torture not to see you
and torture with you too
passion is my love
and my passion is for you
patience is my virtue, that used to hold me fast
how could I know my virtue was one that could not last
my love grows so impatient, and too, my heart does yearn
skin on skin, heart to heart, my passion does so burn
shackled I am by circumstance, and by my memory too
but freed my heart for moments did these three words from you
and turned my cold reality of lonesome winter greys
to thoughts of bliss filled sunny summer days
