Ode to Self
You and I,
A concept gone,
Once steadfast,
Now mythology.
Where once we lived,
Now time does shift,
And left us more than bargained.
We yearned to touch,
To have and hold
In life so unrewarded;
Usurpation ran amock
In a life so duly thwarted.
I knelt before you every day
And so swore my life in service,
But to see your smile was all I cared
For to hold you and feel wanted.
The crime is done
I've destroyed your life,
Now I ask you here to trust me.
There's nothing left
If I'm to be rebuffed,
Please, my darling,
Hold me.
