Until I Wake
Me and my beloved, our bonded souls,
I carry our love beneath my beaten soles.
The warmth of our fire burns rapid coals,
A fleeting flame that mends my woes.
Without you the world is barren and dry,
The sun feels distant in a meaningless sky.
Until the sun sets and beside you I lie,
My weary eyes cannot help but cry.
Meshed like chains, our fates intertwine;
I feel as if your heart were truly mine.
Though only in dreams, your love I define;
Forevermore, my dear Valentine.
Morning appears; may we reconcile,
For when I wake, you leave me in exile.
The light condemns me to a waking trial,
Yet I long for your presence all the while.
My love remains, but you disappeared,
Leaving a ghost of what I held dear.
An empty core that was once so near,
Still, I shall forever wait for you here.
I rest to see you, however bleak;
I ache for your touch, even a caress of my cheek.
A love so profound, yet forbidden to speak;
Until I depart, it is you that I seek.
I plead for the moment I fall into slumber,
For thoughts of you could never encumber.
I dream of a love that feels so tender,
Then wake to a world that will not surrender.
My heart with sorrow fills to the brim,
Was loving you merely a desperate whim?
It cannot be true; your memory grows dim.
Now I realize I was never loved by him.
