This poem is 2 parts. I wrote them about 2 months apart not realizing they were about the same person. So I decided to just put them together.
He hides behind himself,
Like a shield of morbid beauty,
He protects me from a distance,
As if it's his sacred duty,
I remember back to that first touch,
That burned into my skin,
As much as that touched lived in me,
His passion burned within,
When I looked into his eyes,
I saw the tenderness,
And when he looked into my eyes,
He saw what I had missed,
I knew from that first moment,
My time to settle had come,
I also knew he'd be gone soon,
And to think, I thought I'd finally won.
I thought I saw him
Out of the corner of my eye,
But then when I looked around,
I knew it was just a lie,
I dreamt of him last night,
A beautiful scene, maybe a clue,
Of what's to come and happen next,
Hopefully he'll feel what I feel too,
I think of him constantly,
Like a neverending pain,
Perhaps he also thinks of me,
As I listen to the rain,
I wish he were here with me,
To comfort me from the storm,
I wish he were here to comfort me,
In any way, shape, or form,
To hear his heartbeat next to mine,
To feel his breath on my face,
I wish he were here to hold my hand,
But everyone knows that's not the case,
I ache for him more everyday now,
If only he could see,
What I go through everyday,
When he's not here with me.
