I'M In Love With a Memory

I'm in love with a memory
and you love just the thought of me
the idea of a woman by you
who can hear your thoughts.

I'm in love with the touch of your skin
and you ask what I think of your kin
freeze the fire that burns inside
fasting daily away from  me.

What is it, baby, 
that keeps you away?
What is it, darling,
that will set you free?

I've been praying hard for you
turn my flames into songs for you,
I've been hoping you'll wake up soon
see the tears i have cried for you.

What is it, baby, 
that keeps you away?
What is it, darling,
that will set you free?

I'm in love with the thought of you
making love at the thought of me,
waking up just to feel my skin
even though you don't like my kin.

I want you, baby, 
why can't you now see?
how thirsty I've grown,
away from you?

I am through playing hide and seek,
every day I keep growing weak,
I yearn daily for your embrace
but your coldness is my disgrace.

I love you, baby,
adore you darling
I cannot leave you
I cannot live

I'm in love with a memory...

A very beautiful written poem, it s true that when someone so close to you, or someone you loved you with all your heart either leaves you or get away, it seems like that the purpose of your living has ended, you don t like to do anything, just remember the good days, however i m new on this site and have poems of similar category, I ll really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest about them
