Ghost Leaf of the Tree

Your hands untouched Smell unknown Hugs not felt Words unsaid Embedded into me Mind wonders Heart races Agony of wanting What I can't have Give me a minute To recognize there's nothing between you and I You listen quietly Day and night Now's your turn to speak Shed me your light Let me see what others can And I can not Give me a memory of you The heart wants what it can't have For love is immortal And it bleeds in its need
