Defeat

It's a familiar burn
Callused skin is numb
I keep touching it
expecting a different outcome
And is it me or them?
Who to blame
I can only give what I concieve
This thing they call love
I know no other
Beneath the bruises and scars
My fingertips still reach out to touch
What I give, I give fully
And perhaps that is my folly
I'll sever the skin left bare to feel
No exposure, no more

How can I describe the indescribable?

The way you make me feel

Anything in the world is possible

No matter how improbable

And Yet I found you

But now a shadow looms over my heart

It skips a beat at the thought

Sinks in my stomach

To think you might go away

To dream of laying awake

Without your beautiful face next to me

I’ve been thinking forever

So I never pondered the day

When thousands of miles could separate

When my heart could be whole, but break

Full of cliches

When you’ll take away

The biggest part of it
