heart records

her

But how long
Will I turn a cheek
I asked my Lord so meek
My heart prays
For a dance
Alone in lovers' creek

If once I felt a touch
I can't remember when
For lust's a passing bliss
And time it's
Ringing bell

I looked up to the sky
A bowl of tears I cried
I offered to the world
And names that I watched die

My history an enigma
Recall me when I'm dead
For all I wished so softly
Is warmth upon a bed

Is this what you've become
She asked me as she laughed
A shell of your own wallows
A shadow of your past

I looked up to her beauty
The girl I used to know
She glows and reeks of me
And all I used to hold

I reached out for her hand
She doesn't feel like me
Her hair caressed her back
A dimple on her cheek

I kissed her one last time
And let her slip away
For though she once was I
I knew she cannot stay
