A Darkness in the heart

tallisman

There is a darkness in my heart

A fear that you may not stay

I will be broken if you depart

The thought fill s me with dismay

We haven’t lately been in much accord

It seems you always want more

More than together we can afford

But I never thought of us a poor

We used to be so rich in love

Material things meant so little

We fitted together like a hand in a glove

Now our relationship seems so brittle

What changed? Is it you, is it me?

Maybe it’s the world that our love denied

Maybe we were just an anomaly

That the fates have rectified

I’ve been giving this some reflection

I would do anything to retain

Even a fraction of that affection

And hold you once again

So stay with me, be with me

Let’s regain the higher ground

We could replay the harmony

Of the love that we once had found.

              I loved this poem like many of yours. It is sad though how love always seems to change one way or the other. Another great one my friend.
