Timeless Beauty
By Ld Marduk
Timeless beauty…have I known,The love…of one kind heart,But such…sadly…was short lived,For we had grown apart—Even though…I cared for thee,As to this day…but do I still,The same could not…be said of thee,And I did not understand it then,Nor do I think…I ever will—For I…could not have loved thee more,As I was oft…to tell thee,And for a time…I was convinced,Such was…as it should be—But in thine heart…arose a doubt,Yet thou n'er saw fit…to tell me,And the doubt grew larger,As time did pass,Until…one day…it finally—Drove a wedge between us,For thou…sent me away,Without an explanation,Twas my heart thou broke…that day—For I believed…that I had wronged thee,Or had hurt thee…in some way,But the truth of such…I would not know,Until thou didst…one day—Confide in me…of those days passed,Of thy uncertainty,Knowing that I cared, had only frightened thee—For thou could not…as I did,Express thy feelings so,And only now…when looking back,Feel comfortable—With knowing how I felt for thee,Of my expressing it,Even though it be too late,For me to once again—Know thy timeless beauty,And the love…of thine kind heart,Though love thee…shall I always,It now be…from afar.
