OUR TALE

Even now, despite the time

That's gone by since you were mine

I find at quiet moments

In my heart

That you've never left me, for

In my heart there is no door

Thus your memory locked inside

Must ere reside

Though my heart I've tried to sway

And move on to a new day

I fail in trying

For my dreams I can't escape

Where betimes you come again

And I feel the fire within

As its burns to see your face

And touch your skin

But though I hold you for a time

The dream turns so to remind

That we cannot be together

In this life

For the dream doth always fade

As I watch you slip away

And I'm left alone again

To feel the pain

As I wake and wonder why

Though a thousand times I've cried

Your wound never heals

Nor lets me comfort find

Perhaps written before time

Twas a tale of you and I

Such to make the heavens weep

Upon its read

Wherein my fate is to yearn

So I'll wait the dream's return

Holding hope that someday...

It will never end
