Me Again

......Me Again......

I woke this morning 
with that feeling again 
Feelings of emptiness 
deep within 
lingering sadness 
where to begin?
I thought I put these emotional feelings to rest 
although they seem back 
pounding in my chest!
Where have I gone wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
So many nights of passionate thoughts 
So many times we’ve been apart 
Still this love in my heart 
stays strong 
Tearing me apart 
temptations like the song 
Responses in the dark
deceptive actions gone wrong 
That smile with that feel
the lust of your love 
I’m going to burst 
emotional mistrust 
lacking my spark 
lack of control 
I could never let it go 
I can never adjust 
My heart unconditionally 
withdrawing into sorrow 
Compassion embodied with your comfort tomorrow 
The warmth of your skin 
laying next to me 
Where do I begin?
What am I in?
Since I was young 
I dreamt of someone like you 
Being that one
longing for you 
The fire to fuel my flame 
passion bleeding like the sun
leaving me speechless 
am I to blame?
Again?

Thanks for your input as always. Sorry for late response as I set the pen down for awhile
