Patience a virtue? Really?
Never enough time
Slowly waiting, time is frozen
When will she tell him it’s too late

Consenting adults, knowing the risks
I knew better, so did she
Passion and lust overwhelmed us
A quagmire of sorts

She begs, the time will
Destroy or heal
The choice remains
Make a move

In love again?
Afraid once more
Open up and trust
Anticipation of a broken heart

Deja vu all over again
Sneaking and white lies
Co conspirator
Or a willing party to overthrow?

I find myself wanting
Watching sidelines of deception
A willing participant
Will the end justify the means?

I too know of this sadness
Bleached of a colored shade
White or grey vary with one’s one definition
Of a closed heart hurting others passing by

I slowly pass the time
Wishing her by my side
A presence of warmth
Felt only for a brief while

My feeling's for her
Allready known
Wanting more
If only she could make that move

(Tina, if only you knew the distance of being so close, yet so very far away, Steve)

some of us are gluttons of punishment.  we know the pain, but we still risk our hearts for just a moment in that eternity with the one we love

Thanks Dixie and Kirstie, glutton for punishment?  I'm not sure, the child support each month takes care of that, lol, Steve.

Stephen, I hope things work out for you.  This was a very honest, sensitive write.
