I pine and I pine
to no avail
sweet God
why is love
such a rock in my chest
I'm losing my life
as I know it just
my tomorrow now feels injured
the uncertainty is my disease
how I wish I had his incredible
focus and strength
his faith in this tower of us
astounds me
it must be beautiful to be so
sure
to love with pinpoint desire
and know that right now is true
well it is for me as well
in many ways too
its just the butchered up separations
that hack me to my very fears
do all these monstrous circumstances
affect you even a little
or are you really so unphased by
their constant stalking
and sneers
I feel like you are a carrot life
is dangling before me
and I'm just a dumb mule stupid
enough to walk in circles
after something I will never
be able to have
not really
are you real or are you a dream
is this a lovely game of chase but
never catch that we play
if so then I am in it unknowingly
and if I win can you come here
and let me know if I've won
by touching your firm lips to my
trembling ones
and saying to me in an ultra loving
voice at last,
now Melissa its time for us
both to wake up and make some memories
as well as share a future's past
you say this time next year we
will be in each other's arms
stoning me further in such a wish
indeed
tears begin to flow now
I can not stop them
or myself from wondering
will I ever see such a morning
or is it just dream words once more
flowing
out of what else
but a dream!......................
