Bittersweet

Feeling your touch, a warmth within my soul,

With shyness and with hope I saw your face,

And stared into the eyes that make me whole.

But deep inside my head I knew my place,

And realized that I'd never have you near.

An arm's reach was as close as you'd allow,

And sometimes just a hug, but with much fear,

That I would start to feel again somehow,

And all the pain would rear its ugly head,

When, telling me again, to break my heart;

You reinforce that feelings here are dead.

So, sadly smiling, broken as I start,

To think of of all the happy moments shared,

I wonder if you ever truly cared.
