You have a way with words.
You say one thing and mean another,
speaking your mind in deceptive ways.
"love" on your toungue rolls off so sweet,

Loneliness waits at the end of this dream,
Awakening with no one to cling to.
Silence greets me when I wake,
no one there to feel their touch, caress my skin, kiss good morning.

Those tired eyes
Those generous, loving, tired eyes.
Anything to protect, anything to defend,
Sacrifice of self to save those whom they love.
Wisdom beyond what other know,
