Can’t Say Goodbye

Another sleepless night, waiting for the morning light. Weary eyed she stumbled, to bed where nightmares waited. One more time, he hadn’t come. She knew his love was wrong, but she was weak, not strong.

*

He’d return with excuses, full of meaningless words of love. Then she’d let him hold her, hoping he’d never let go. He was every woman’s dream come true, eyes of blue and words from a golden tongue, that he used to steal hearts away.

*

So this game they’d play, day after day. He never intended to stay, but the passion went on and on. Night after night, she was willing to let him hold her. Knowing that in the cold light of day, her bed would be as empty as her heart was.

*

A woman with a broken heart and a shattered soul. Longing for a man, she couldn’t hold. Someday he’d realize, what treasure he once had. A woman who loved him - more than life itself. Came the time, when he opened his eyes, to discover that she, was the only woman he could love.

*

So back he raced, with bated breath. To a silent house and a heart that beat like a drum. He called her name, as he ran from room to room. Thinking it was all in vain - that nothing was the same. Then there she was on the balcony, the setting sun shining through her raven hair. He took her in his arms and held on tight.

*

Their hearts beat a symphony, their desires knew no end. Kisses of passion that left them breathless - until they whispered together, ”I love you”.
