Collective thoughts

I have lost
what I longed
so long to have had

Aching limbs
Red, dried eyes,
I promise you, sir,
I am hardly alive

I am a liar
and when I lay
I have lied
for three quarters
of a hard lived day

I can promise you,
my love,
my heart,
that if you can hear my breathing
and my heart beating
that we will soon be one

Just close your eyes
and I will let you take me over
as my body is washed away into infinity
let loose by your strong, holding arms

I am lost
I am a liar
I have laid down all that I once knew
and I lose
It truly is that simple

Believe me
my one and my only
and then,
let me go

  1. This sad one is my favorite, but there's a typo that distracted me in line 2 of stanza 3.
