Numb

I have felt so much that I am numb.

It’s only momentary, long enough to breathe -

then sigh.

The emotion comes rushing back all too soon.

Romance is what every heart secretly hopes for;

In the light of the moon, a lover’s wish.

And my romantic heart with all it’s pangs & bruises

Is left empty again . . . wondering.

I feel the pain creep back in,

Icicles form on my insides -

with dread and doubt -

But nevertheless, inevitably, always comes the pain.

So, in these moments where my soul feels nothing -

I cherish everything.

My heart may be destined to woe and cry -

But that’s the price I pay for romance.

Together Again

Do I love you because you’re beautiful,
Or are you beautiful because I love you? -Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Cinderella

King, you can take back your horses.

I don’t need your men.

I am now whole – I’ve been put together again.

It’s all thanks to one – who showed me that he cared.

And now he is with me – even in heart, everywhere.

I am complete; no help is due.

King take back your men, I’m like brand new.

Ache

I almost feel your fingers tracing my body

As my skin aches for your touch.

I want – need – to be in your arms

I need you so much.

My heart races at the thought of your kiss

Your sweet lips touching mine.

Let’s just get tangled in each other

And lose all sense of time.

I need to feel your body, and soul inside of me

I want as much as we can endure.

I have got an aching in my heart any body

That, my love, only you can cure.

Eternal

It can’t be all taken away -

Death, you didn’t think it through.

You can’t steal love,

and memories are eternal too.

I will see her face in every crowd,

hear her voice in every song.

You thought you had it all worked out,

but Death, you couldn’t have been more wrong.

I will honor her memory,

though we must part.

You may take away her breath,

but she will live eternal in my heart.

I Miss You

Being here without you, I don’t know what to do.
My heart, my body, every fiber of my being, aches for you.

I don’t think tears could alleviate the pain I feel inside.
I’d miss you still, no matter how hard I cried.

Loneliness, aside from love, is perhaps the most profound emotion I’ve ever known.
And if it is the price — I’ll forever pay, for your heart to own.

It is my sincerest and most desperate plea -
When you are lonely too, please think of lonely me.

I have a loving heart and two arms for you to return to.
And as the clock  (almost still)  ticks to that moment, I’ll miss you.
