When all I see from 'across the room' is loneliness and pain
We are joined in our agony v ecstasy
You ask us to speak of love
and deep desires
longing, fond ecstasy
and warm embraces
is it not a folly
a fleeting dreamscape of
pain, sadness, heartbreak, heartache
that you, unconsciously demand
that we revisit
Feelings
intermingled with pain
the awful hurt, that deep abiding grief
we wish, obscured
feelings of joy and euphoric love
elude us
Ask us not for sweet words of
love reciprocated
for all i see and perceive
is unhappiness gained and
multiplied, exponentially
by most
For
hearts bowed down in grief
find no joy reveling in unrequited love
love was once ours
our hearts sang
rejoiced
in first kisses and wild romance
we rode on rainbows
and soared on clouds
For those still dancing on clouds
bravo!
we, the lovelorn and sad
still with open hearts
wish you well
We reach deep, within our well of
past dreams
to invoke that which once was
and endure the misery of
lying to ourselves
with untrue words of happiness
feign enjoyed
so to placate you
Ask us not to lie to you
for peace, joy and ecstasy is
yours
not ours
Please ask us not
to lie
so you
may fly
