I remember those warm summer nights
Can you honestly forgive me? Can I make it right?
Feel incomplete stillness caressing the air
Lips still smile but you know I don't care.

Breath clouding thick, oxygenated days
Frost clings to sunlit August rays
I'm all alone in the swift cold breeze
Sleeping unconsciously before the dawning freeze.

Next to your pillow, where I lie
To be? Not to be? To live or to try?
My choice is unspoken sound
Sharing sighs, while my heart starts to pound.

Blankets lay in crumpled heaps
And there is tension while your rejected heart sleeps
Distant pained eyes pierce my hollow soul
I wait with crossed feet, for you to lose control.

I know of your love but won't respond
Can you imagine what lies beyond?
Feel my kiss, if only one last time
My passion ends abruptly, just like this rhyme.
Very old
