Lovers

My heart knew the very first time we met.
It was love at first sight.
Watching your beauty fill the room
Took my breath away.
To hold your hand, kiss red lips
Happiness I never before knew.
When we made love time stopped to watch
Every motion in our hopeless lovers game.
Through every hour we knew it would never be
Yet living them with hearts and loins aflame.
We whispered to each other in our final passion
“If only for today, I am yours alone.”
I watched you walk away on that fateful day
Finally ending what should have been.
I felt my heart shatter, still in pieces today
I am all-alone………………..Evermore.
Final words of parting for my only love
“Take my heart with you darling,
I can never love again.”
