"Last Watch of The Night"

Cloud shadows drift across the barren fields

Memories drift quietly upon the wind

The bright golden sun warms my skin

As I embrace every essence within me

My senses remember and recall their most prize indulgence

My smile tells the truth of a tale that is all knowing

I cannot hide the immensity

I can hardly bare the moments when I'm with you

To not be touching you...

Holding you...

 Or being with you in every way two people can be

Making every second I am not absolute torture

Its all bittersweet

But I stay...

I wonder, remember, and hope

Why do we dance like this?

Why do we hold our words back?

Why do we wait upon borrowed time, loving no one, alone?

These are the things that I'm forced to question...

The choice is within our hands

Its entirely up to you if you would like to be included

So I wait...

Again...

For one last time...

Here...
