• These choices have to say,
    Pocket of lies we choose to ignore,
    Swept eye contact out away,
    Polished floors gleam with knowing,

    Rain wept on the driveway,
    Flickering Christmas lights drew soft,
    Upon these gentle features,
    Confess your heart and soul to me,

    Thought I loved you long,
    Feelings die away and come to rest,
    I couldn't be what you want,
    Knowing we're looking for difference,

    These words are subtle,
    Cannot write you justice in the lines,
    One too many, indecisive,
    Incision filled night in my lonely life,

    Aged past for my comfort,
    Heart wreaks havoc on old and gray,
    Abscond from the situation,
    Pretend not to see as you silently cry,

    Rarely for the satisfaction,
    Desire courses through my veins,
    Be true to life and love again,
    For words I cannot speak nor dream,

    In the darkness lies hope,
    Courage to gather and try it again,
    Live long and love much,
    I can never live without you, my friend.
