Sanguine

I must keep my mind open wide, as I know not the final score, and take the days within my stride, whilst I wait for ever more. I found someone who expanded my heart, my desires, my needs and my plans, I do not know if we will stay apart, and she makes me a better man. I still smile while she infects my mind, even though I'm filled with tears, for she is sweet, beautiful and kind, and I waited for her many years. I pine and yearn just to see her now, it burns and tears me to shreds, I leave a space, it's hers somehow, every night within my bed. I must have hope, I must stay calm, for true love can never just die, optimistic scope to hold her in my arms, although I discover naught when I scry. I feel a hollow emptiness, emerging from my head and chest, but I have faith so I must digress, to the fact she is truly the best. If I am wrong and she does not come back, I will never take another, she is my song, my muse, my heart attack, she was my perfect lover. I held too tight and she could not breathe, this fact between us goes unspoken, if she does not return then I truly believe, that this world is utterly broken. I keep my mind open wide, Though I know not the final score, but my misery is very hard to hide, while I wait for ever more.
