The Ache I Hold

One day about eight months ago
I fell in love with you
Although I wasn’t searching
For a lifetime full of true
If only I could turn again
The hands of time so gently
I never would have ached
Or pained myself so relentlessly
But now I’ve come to realize
Without you is where I’ll live
For will my heart always be
With nothing left to give
As much as I shall dream at night
That we would be together
I must accept it true to self
You’ll never reach beyond her
Dear God-I wish you’d look to me
To hold & comfort you
Now we stay forever gone
Else you and she are through.
