Frequent is the heart
Heavy the soul
A burden on the mind
And harsh on the spirit
Every cell, every molecule
Screaming out in torture
Every single moment alone
Reuniting is bittersweet
The pain of pure joy
Biting at every breath
Clear days and foggy nights
Happiness is fleeting and fluid
Emotions are trials
Sucking away at your consciousness
Draining at your very being
Replenishing momentarily
Then slipping away again
Holding onto sanity is a fantasy
Though not far-fetched
Hopes are naïve and reality smarts
One second, one moment
Just you, me, and all that possesses life
An overflowing swell of love
Flooding the senses
Washing away the impurities of existence
Bound by feelings so intense
They are tangible
You can touch them with your fingertips
And caress them with your palms
Then vanishing just as soon
Leaving emptiness behind
Up again, down again
As time drifts by
The rules are sometimes broken
And the boundaries are uncertain
Regret is often inevitable
But, love always prevails.
