somebody's dungeon

I've often wondered what of life
you've gleaned while on this ball,
can the life you lead while absent
be called a life at all?

While you wore the scars of treason
upon your sleeve so bold
when asked about the reason
your mouth so quickly told,
twas her who broke my heart so pure
twas her who fell away
while inside I would scream,
what defense was there to say?

You now give only the smallest touch
I sometimes feel your heart is blank
as for the state we have reached
I guess I am to thank
and I'll go on into eternity
with an apology on my lips
but could you please, at least this one
touch with more than fingertips?

But if living life halfway to full
is what I must now endure no end,
I will do so while silently opposed
to your absence once again.

I have read this poem three full times
and surely, have read between the lines...

good work, White Rose
