Apart of Me

I did not think
Arms not linked
Bends so to break
My heart
Nor hands not grasped
Closeness lapsed
Oh lonely gasps

Breathe.

I did not believe
Too long this leave
Steel lost to steal
My breath
Caress no face
Distance spaced
Oh lonely place

Go.

I did not know
Despair deep sows
Unuttered groans
My soul
Alone tilled til
Apart repelled
Oh tears of fell

Weep.

I wish to reap
Plea dreamed sleep
My you my keep
Our we
Arms to pull
Close be still
Oh joy of will!

Repeat.
