Consider this, my love
a God vast and impressive
moving in my life
thinking three moves ahead
in a chess game only he plays

as our lives lay as painted squares
intermingled 8x8
youre homeless
and I, I in no position to accept you
3 weeks sooner and in my bed you'd lay
this moment, this night, this city, this day

in my ,on my, in my heart
you'd lay, in a precarious situation
some call you kurva, others gold-digger
and I think of you
now in that small German border town

my heart distant
eyes tired and heavy
I find peace in the silence
as I ready for bed
you are not here

and nay shall my heart receive
in all your weary ways
I grow wary
and more weary
for you to change your ways

and yet you're drawn to me
in all the gifts I possess
none can be purchased, none sold, or stolen
just a man and a silent heart
locked

and so it remains...

you haven't got a clue

Sounds like it is time to move on. Easier said than done sometimes, however. Nice work.

A different slice of life from you, touching and sincere.

Always worth reading, martini man~

Yes, this reminds me of how I felt when I broke it off with my ex. It just did not get the clue that our love was no more. I truly enjoyed the read!!!
