    I've told you-
    I wilt in the light of no affection-
    Great Lover of mine.

    Great would-be Lover of mine
    fore you never came to me.
    I have nothing of you but words-
    blasted words.
    They shed no light
    on affection.

    Is this all I am to expect?
    Will I be fiending after you,
    for the rest of your days-
    Like her-like them?

    Or-
    Do you only wish to share with me-
    words?
    They'll speak of passion-love letters unsent-
    and an understood pain.
    They'll be cunning-and full of unkept promises.
    They'll keep alive what never was-
    make it rain on paper-full of salt.
    They'll say what we fear
    to feel,
    But only every once in a while-
    when the pain
    gets too much to ignore.
    When promises become pleas
    and nevers turn into grey maybes-
    Then back to never once more.

    And I'll wilt away-
    a little flower-
    lost in a desert-
    of words.

    WOW! I can completely relate to this poem....it really tugs at my heart. You seem to write with such a painful passion.

    Thanks!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
