My Poem

I didnt know I held such strength,
such power,
over your heart.
I break to see it, I never meant to confuse.
Its only recently that I've seen myself,
That I've seen my light.
To say no, to say goodbye, to still have you close,
To still have you by my side,
The woman in me cries aloud, the woman in me dies.
My instinct is to give you comfort, to take away your pain..
Our problem is I am not yours to find warmth,
Our problem is to stay.
To be without him is a lie.
I lie which I refuse to speak, for though my heart
Screams to console,
His smile was my suit.
And while we are sepearated, while I ache only for him,
While the temptation of other flesh is so prominent,
While the affection so readily available,
While the words of others soothe my soul,
And lift upon my veil,
I am his, in body and soul.
To us I'll fight, my weapons, tooth and nail.
Love I cannot give you, friendship, it is yours.
One day I hope you will find The One,
Till then, my comradery is all of which avails.

I wish I were a bard. I'd sing this to you both.
