How long this love lie waiting so dormant,

Haunted from within by an unknown torment;

Long did I hopelessly search for you,

So much time slipped away, doubts only grew;

True love how often so carelessly spoken,

But finally as one we can be unbroken;

Hearing your name invokes such intense feeling,

Together but silent the unspoken so revealing;

Created for each other, intertwined by fate,

Intoxicated with visions of a future so great;

Apart from you there is agony and pain,

Darkest of nights, or a cold winter rain;

Impractical, rare, only once in a lifetime,

Sadly we never experience the sublime;

Maddening anticipation no one could hide,

My heart now bleeds never opened so wide;

I believe we can love despite all our fears,

We can laugh, we can cry, wipe away all tears;

You are my impossible, insane, and unreal,

The love of my life, so high and ethereal;

We are not them, we will never compare,

For living the norm only leads to despair;

We need no lesson about how it should be,

Our journey is one of a new reality;

Others will envy, deny what is ours,

Love never broken but written in the stars.

I gave all my love

I gave you my best,

You stole my heart

I put trust to the test;

I was faithful, committed

You were all I could see

All your hurt and fears

You were finally free;

With  you in my arms

Time stood still,

How was I wrong

That this wasn’t so real;

You saved my life

In so many ways,

What was the purpose

It lead to malaise;

As darkness ensues

Empty and alone,

Even deeper depression

Than I’ve ever known;

Show me the reason

Explain to me why,

We were brought together

Just to say goodbye;

I’m far from perfect

I revealed my flaws,

You know in your heart

Their lies aren’t the cause;

Yes, there were variables

Challenges and druthers,

Yet the biggest of all

You listened to others;

Everything you told me

I believed it true,

Until news of him

You chose to pursue;

The greatest of hurts

Is we’ll never be,

You chose another man

Over true love, over me;

Never forget us

Everything we had,

All of their envy

They won and it’s sad.
