Our visits are tender;
   but all too brief.
Stolen time together;
   energy released.

Goodbyes are too tearful;
   promises are made.
The visit is over;
   we each go our ways.

The day was a dream;
   it just had to be.
A new day beginning;
   his cold words for me.

No surprises here;
   we've been there before.
The guilt's taken over;
   "We'll visit no more."

His words are like daggers;
   straight to my heart.
He doesn't mean to hurt me;
   it tears him apart.

Long days pass so slowly;
   the need is soul deep.
The pain has since faded;
   guilt won’t defeat.

We meet again hungry;
   temptation's command.
The scene is familiar;
   our bodies demand.

These visits expected;
   the reasons are so.
His- to make me happy;
   mine- I can't let go.

Thank you. There are so many talented writers here. I am not actually new, just been a long time absent. It is nice to see many here from a while ago.

I take it that you still have some sort of hold on him so hang in there and who knows what might eventuate. I wish you good luck my dear.
