Epyllion

* a lighter, airier write*

Heaven knows how close I hold you
deep in the night when you cannot see;
And the angels that sing in every whispered
breath, know how dear you are to me -

So when the time rolls 'round
and I just can't say
Please don't turn your back away -
Don't think for a minute that this love
isn't real
Or that I can't possibly feel the same
as you, dear.

I cry in the shadows when you have left
and I wait, holding my breath until you return;
I may not verbalize how empty I am
when your absense seizes me, stinging and burns.

Perhaps it isn't for the heavens with all the angels
to know how I love you, for all that I'm worth-
But love, I can't hide it, yet I seem not to know how to say
That you are my everything in all possible ways.

I kneel now before you
my heart in my hands
Please, see how I ache for you
to know and understand

That this heart beats for none other
than you.
