swan

I saw your face once again

a beautiful tan complexion with deep brown eyes

beautiful lips and a warm smile

still just as beautiful

if not more

the love I felt for you long ago

came rushing back to my soul

it was all dream-like

as if I was meeting you again

for the very first time

that very first night

I laid my eyes on you

all I wanted was you

to be near you

to simply reside in your presence

your presence is where I wanted to be

the sun kissed your skin so purely

the light gave you an aura I could not explain

you had tired eyes and a mystery about you

I was intrigued

your hands touched my skin

I froze

instantly I knew

I adored you

no matter how far I get from you

I can’t escape

you broke my heart

when you walked away

and I was never the same

you’re in my heart night and day

but I must let you go now

though it pains me so

cut the cords

I’ll numb my way through

I’ve never loved the way that I love you

it kills me

to know you’ll never be mine

I think i’d rather die

I might pick up a drink or two

I must try to forget about you

rolled the blunt

took my time

its smoke will heal me

it reaches far into my psyche

perhaps death will free me

if I can’t have my one true love

what am I to do

my heart calls to you

you still dance in my dreams

you make me feel complete

if I can’t love you

what was I made for

I hope he dances with you under the moonlight

I hope he constantly reminds you how beautiful you are

I hope he knows how lucky he is

I hope he loves you as much as I do

I hope you are truly happy

Somehow I feel I’ll never be able to forget about you

you elicited feelings in me I never knew

you opened up my world

I drew air in and quickly let it go

may it be my last

I have no purpose or a soul

goodbye.
