Private lover in the wind
ravishing me in the night
content in the afterglow
but a stranger in the light

where are you when I fall down?
sobbing quietly as my heart pounds
private lover where do you go?
when the lights are no longer low

when my fever is running high
and my eyes are tired and weary
no one to stroke my brow
or share a cup of coffee

no one to embrace me
like magic you disappear
private lover
dont you recognize me?
only in midnight clear

when you want me
I am always here
but when stumped upon
you are no longer near
private lover where do you go?
when the lights are no longer low

In the light of the morn
strolling  through the park
attacked by a rapist
you only know me in the dark
what am I to do?
where are you now my love?
reaching out for your hand
my mouth covered by a glove

trying to  scream for help
but you are no where in sight
where is your strong hand?
in the early morning light
why am I a stranger?
except in the dark of night



A poem is never finished, only abandoned.

Yes, where, when you need a hero right?
Or someone to stop the pain?
I loved this, Victoria, great piece
