Our Fate Was To Part

i do not speak 
nor dream of you 
seldom do i 
think of you 
but when i see you 
my mind is schemeing 
my heart is bleeding 
and i am praying 
my eyes won't betray me 
for my temptation 
is so great 

for a moment 
i long for 
your tender embrace 
for a moment 
i long to touch 
your sweet face 
for a moment i think of 
your warm lips on mine 
as lastly i dream 
of our bodies entwined 

then i remember 
the lies you so 
frequently told 
ah, i remember 
the nights and how 
they grew cold 
i think of 
the pain that 
pierced through 
my heart 
your love was like poison 
and our fate was to part

Yeah, I agree with Drake...I do like this one as well. This one is cold with the lingering remnants of warmth. Very Good! MC

Vicious, yet that longing tenderness remained in silhouettes. Poweful & sad piece! Great job!
