long restless nights plagued with images of you
tossing and turning in a restless slumber
thoughts in my mind try to eradicate the turmoil raging within
attempting to find reason for my illogical desires
the yearning to feel your arms sheltering me from harm
when the source of the harm is you…
thirsting for your kiss…
the feel of your lips upon mine…
while blocking out the moments of violence i’d been forced to witness…
praying for the day you’d become the man i fell in love with many years ago
yet knowing that too much time has passed…
this new personality has become ingrained…
this temperament comes so naturally
you wear your jealousy and resentment on your sleeve
yet i close my eyes and pray…
i pray for the days we had…
when you’re love for me saw no boundaries
those days were so long ago
yet if only we could experience that again…
