My Pain



It's not easy to understand

the things between a woman

and a man.



Sometimes it's a matter of

degrees that determines

what the other sees.



Mostly we see things exactly

the same, but the truth between

us lies my pain.



I am soulful and true from the heart.



You are beautiful, but afraid from

the start.



I am fearless and ready to begin.



While you have been hurt and fear

from within.



I see you clearly and love without

shame.



But inside you hold back and it is

the source of my pain.



In the beginning you saw me as so

strong, so true.  The source of your

love song who would stand up for you.



The kindred spirit, romantic, and lover

who forever had marked the symbol of

his committment on your heart.



And even though we shared a wellspring

of tears, not once had that changed how

I felt though the years.



So with hope upon hope I held on

to that heart whose beating matched

mine right from the start.



But all things we know, in time have

to change, it is in this that my heart

has realized my pain.



For the truth is the time has come, as

our feeling now show, that our song is

now over and it's time to let go.



I thought you my soulmate, my treasure,

now found.  When in truth we are distant

and will never be bound,



in the manner we both truly want in our

dreams.  So our saga is ended and I fear

this has been, my greatest of failures. So

with most woeful disdain, so ends our

chapter, and now begins my pain.
