Heavy Heart

Oh, my love
how I long for the sacred phrase
from your mouth, in my ear
a warm whisper.

Oh, my love
my dreams make my heart ache
for the reality is a simple no
a cold statement.

Oh, my love
your innocence makes me shudder
realize what I have spoken
a simple question.

Oh, my love
If I cannot be yours
what can I be?
An unspoken afterthought?
