I ache to be with you
and for what it’s worth
for all that’s in this world
batters too much
the hope of my self-will
Don’t look upon me with such eyes
as I have upon you
it cannot be
Letting you take possession of me
like burnt letters
becoming black as night
Till the very next time I see you
softer words cannot be found
and I am drowning
in a sea of thoughts
In waves I’ve come to believe
that a love like ours was meant to be
broken

You are flawless, with these surfs of emotion.  Compelled to reveal fears, and images of something past.  
beautiful flow.
