My soul
Pleaded with my heart
Not to let you go
But my voice said “NO”
You had drowned
In my shadows
I was thinking
Of tomorrows
Never wanting
What I had
Never seeing
Your pleading eyes
Hidden secrets
Disguised so wise
Beneath
Your soul
Lay sorrow
Unbeknownst to me
I only wish
I could have known you
For then I will have loved you
Even more so
