Musings of a Lover

by NewChapter

She agreed to take the evening shift. She could not sleep anyway although that was silly. She knew times would call for them to be apart. It came with the job. Most times she thought nothing of it, pushed it away from her heart. And yet she still muses.

Acknowledge All.

Acknowledge all.
Just not your heart
and bade me understand.
Acknowledge all.
Just not your heart
I don't know if I can.

Acknowledge all.
Just not your heart,
yet bind me with your touch.
Acknowledge all.
Just not your heart
you ask my heart too much.

Sometimes.

Sometimes I see that part
that swiftly stole my heart.
Then scurried to be free,
to play a role you thought you must be.

Sometimes I see that part
that swiftly stole my heart.
Revealed its soul then went away.
With eyes that mirror the price we pay
and wrestle demons never far away.

Sometimes I see that part
that swiftly stole my heart.
Found pain when it slipped away.
Found peace when it chose to stay.
Remembered how it made its way.
Yearns for us now but cannot say
what's on my lover's heart.

You Say to Me.

You say to me
there were a thousand possibilities.
And yet you're here.
I'll be your strength
and you'll be mine.

You say to me
alone your path must be.
And yet hold you me near.
I'll be your strength
and you'll be mine.

You say to me
through tears no others see,
knew that your pain was mine.
I'll be your strength
and you'll be mine.

You say to me
love's purpose now you see.
Laid down night's yesterday
and one moment shared your heart.
I'll be your strength
and you'll be mine.
