"Two Worn And Battle- Weary Ships"

how is it that I can take

the moments in my hand,

and lay no claim upon your heart

nor make any demands,

we kiss we touch like lovers

but soft words don't pass between,

is it emptiness between us

or past heartaches we have seen?

sometimes I see you struggle

words imprisoned on your tongue,

so much feeling shines within your eyes

but the song remains unsung,

and every day that passes

I know for us may be the last,

and every time I leave I know

you'll eventually be my past,

our lonely hearts found comfort

I guess that what we are,

is two worn and battle-weary ships

that can only sail so far,

I know now this is not enough

I know that I agreed,

and you have the right to your own wants

but this isn't what I need,

to feel the warmth within your arms

as you refrain from all emotion,

the softness of your kisses

that do not seek devotion,

I want to be so much more

much more than what we are,

two worn and battle-weary ships

that can only sail so far,....

someone wants or needs something different,,something more,,and I did...
