I wish I could go just one day without loving you,
or striving for your love that never came.
I wish I could fight through the urge for your touch,
Or forget the memories that are coated in shame.

Like the nights I would read every word you've sent me,
The paragraphs as chapters I wrote with you.
That even after all this pain and time has passed,
I've accepted what you had put me through.

I remember the taste of your kiss,
And every lifeline running through you palm,
But you had your way and cut our line short,
Leaving me with a love left embalmed.

So, let's keep this short and sweet,
That was always your intention.
I've given it all up completely,
But I still hold hope for your attention.
