A/N: I wrote this a looooong time ago for another couple but when I thought of it I decided I had to post this as Palex. It just…. fit. For any who might already know this poem I am also known as Just say not to Liz or Doctor-v-Grifter depending on which J&R board you're on.
A
silent night in my room.
A knock on my door,
Suddenly memories
bombard me
So sweet and vicious I fall to my knees.
When I
cry, it's over you.
My mind torments me with your smile
The way
you smell, the way you laugh
The nights I had you here with
me.
God when did it come to this?
Every dream, every breath
and heart beat
Every minute of every day and every bridge
It is
you with whom I share them.
And until this very moment
I've
lied to the world,
To myself and to my heart.
But you, I never
lied to you.
That's why you sent these.
You knew despite
the lies
Despite the grief and anger
That in my heart there was
always hope.
This bouquet of yellow roses,
They lay where
you left them at my door.
No need for words or a card, though I
looked.
It's all there, your love, your promise and your
hope.
When all else failed us,
When looks were all that
didn't lie;
Could not be stolen or denied
The gestures that are
you were always there.
Though you did not stay
I felt your
presence when you knocked.
I spied you from a window and saw a
tear,
Silver, silent and unheeded it fell to the ground.
The
light above you shines like a halo
Reminders of how I fell off
your pedestal
And now walk mortal ground.
As you have stripped
off angels wings to join me.
One day love will be enough.
It
will have to be,
For what else can you give someone
When they
own your very soul?
Infinite as my love for you,
Steady as
the heartbeat next to mine,
Firm as the hands that hold me,
My
hope for us blooms like yellow roses.
