I know not what for
only that I am yours no longer more
just one of many placed on a list
to think so much heart ache I could have missed
had I not kissed your pale cold lips
or let my heart be touched by your traitorous fingertips
you can not even imagine the pain that sears my blood
or how so easily tragic tears pool to flood
my gut knots tight before the harsh morning's dawn
when I discover for myself that not only have you left
but everything else is gone with you I suppose
isn't it strange with love what all else goes..........
