Premature heartache

Reaching out for an eternity
fills me with the everlasting thoughts
that i am not alone
for many years i have felt the pain
of what could’ve been,
but never was
and you are still out there
searching for your love
but i’ve had it all along

tear into me;
tear into me just as you already have
when you reached inside
and took my heart away
be careful, for it is fragile…
it’s been broken once before

the woods are quiet this time of year
filled with a silence i have never heard
the darkness speaks to me,
asks me for my embrace
for not long ago, this is where i lived
alone in my self pity,
praying for someone like you
in the woods, armed with my problems
and my thoughts
alone i stood
the wolves cried for my blood
and ached for my flesh
and i had no hope

i saw you dancing in the fields
in my past and in my future
my love lies forever still
and waits to be touched again
i saw your smile; oh, what a smile
and hoped for your compassion
you took one look and that was it
my flame of love was lit aflame by you
thank you, my dear
for giving my heart a home
