Honoring Your Poetry...

"Invalid Item" 
Damia
I give it 5 stars






Reaching out to touch you, I feel that you're not there.
Wondering and waiting, slow feelings of despair.
Single, yet connected, with vague moments of dread
I wish to mourn and grieve, but feel empty instead.

A miasma of doubt, despair slips over me,
Permeating my soul, tears fall despondently.
Shaky contemplations, for my sins I must atone.
My punishment, I fear, to live my life alone.

Still, I sit here waiting in wishing, hoping pain,
For you to come to me and never leave again.
This is a dream of mine, a castle in the air,
That you will love me, too. A wish beyond compare.

No matter what the cost to mind and soul and heart
I wish to be with you, to never be apart.
But this, I cannot have, I know beyond a doubt.
To this I am resigned, you I must live without.

I can't help my dreaming, no warnings will I heed.
Rifted soul in torment. Your love, the balm I need.
Eternity, I wait. Forever and a day,
To hear the simple words, I long to hear you say.
"I love you" echoes loudly through my fantasies
To love and marry you. You ask on bended knee.

And from this dream I wake. I sigh and smile, then groan,
As I reach out for you, to find that I'm alone.
