Tossing and turning, two souls living and learning.

My breath carries your name in bittersweet yearning.

Your love swiftly returns to me wherever I may hide,

Reminding my heart of star-crossed notions buried inside. 

Lost love like slow death; lies sweetly burning,

Burning the bridges we took decades to build.

We've come to a crossroads; our duplicity filled

With passion and joy, but more sadness and woe.

Nothing left without courage; we both must let go.

How did we arrive in this aimless, wrecked place?

If only I could turn to you and see your sweet face.

Your words tell me you love me but your actions betray

Your honest intentions and here I am still at bay.

Not meant to be in this lifetime you and me,

So we set sail for territory unknown, leave behind destiny.

So tragic, such a shame, our love not of this earth,

But saved for the heavens for whatever that's worth.
