You and I
Well me met at a strange time
In that land far from home
Where we were so little known
And together we were thrown
By mutual friends
Who always warned me
Of your past history
And that it wouldn’t end well
And yet you and I we struggled
To reach for each other
As we wrote in each other’s journals
Sharing everything
That others souls failed to understand
But when the trying got too much
Our dreams began to turn to dust
As you struggled with the way I always
Feared reaching for you
And getting my fingers burned
For now I know
Love it is an ember
And if we don’t remember
To stoke the fire every day
Well sometimes love just fades away
Or confused lovers
Become scared of the burning flame
Lit deep inside a soul
So fragile and tender
With old unremembered pain
And so I know now
There really is no one to blame
For what you were incapable of
For I was a shattering satellite
Exploding
And when the gravity of your desire
Abated
There was no way the pain and trembling
And fear could be abated
And so you chose to walk away
Even while my hungry soul
Was ever so silently
Reaching for you
I really liked these very poetic lines Deb….
“For I was a shattering satellite
Exploding
And when the gravity of your desire
Abated’
