You cannot know the agony
I treasure in my shape
To cling to you through tragedy
To wrap you like a cape
To follow you in ecstasy
To cradle you in love
But live beyond affections
Where I never feel your touch
You cannot know the emptiness
I hold within my arms
To kneel before your beauty
To have witnessed all your charms
To see you in your glamour
To attend you through the day
And linger in the evening
As you strip it all away
You cannot know the sadness
I must bear with every step
The smiles I have shared with you
The secrets I have kept
My faithfulness is perfect
My descriptions always true
I am your best companion
I know everything you do
You cannot see the pain I feel
When, after all these years
You pay no mind to me at all
And covet other’s stares
I spend my life devoted
I caress you as you sleep
I wait for you until you move
I hold you when you weep
I lay with you beneath the sheets
I ask for nothing back
I slip across your reddened cheeks
I wrap your form in black
I never leave you–never could you
Tear me from your side
I study you and paint you true
My lines have never lied
I fondle you and touch you
But you do not seem to care
My movement goes unnoticed
As if I were never there
But I will stay here loving you
Until the very end
And lie forever by you
When they place you in the ground

a shadows curse, to be near yet so far.. A wonderfully emotive poem VW… I shall take more notice of mine in future.. xPenx
Thank you, Lady Pen. 🙂
Very eloquent and touching.
Thank you, jaded heart 🙂
Love is so tricky…I am by no means an expert…but I have had some wonderful experiences…and the peak is when both lovers are at the heights of their individual power…otherwise…inequality can result in one devouring the others soul.
What a poetic way to explain it. “devouring” a soul. 🙂
Indeed, love is about giving, and sometimes we confuse it for need or for lust. When we are content, each with giving to the other, a beautiful balance is achieved. Thank you for stopping by! I wish you all the best of love
LOL…yes…indeed I am not poet:) Have a good night VW.
You craft words well, and I think you may be more of a poet than you realize 🙂
This is beautiful luv it….. 🙂
Thank you!
