The Two of You

The sky is cold and depressing,

But my heart is full of vibrance

As I await to hear from you,

My mind is all in a daze.

Can this all be a fantasy?

Can this passion be false pretensions?

Disillusions of a ravenous thirst

For your poetic fury, I sit and ponder over

Their meanings.

To be split in two, devoted to you both is maddening.

But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

How long will it last?

A few days, weeks, years, a life-time?

If it were up to me a life-time wouldn’t be enough.

I’m sorry if I hurt you,

I don’t mean it intentionally.

I wish there was a way

I could mend your bleeding heart and aching soul.

I wish there was a way we could

See each other, but there isn’t.
