Avoiding my presence

Eluding my advance

From which questions are you hiding

What answers can’t I understand

You err in your caution

Misbehave in your own right

Tangling the concept

Of lovers and their lives

.

I’m eclipsed by our love

Knowing its worth

We’ve painted a picture

But it’s contre-jour;

And now I hold every moment

Not wanting to let go,

As we have this last dance –

Tears building to flow

.

How can I be there

If your life you engulfs

And being together

Means I’m never to know

A lie is a poison

Am I being the fool?

Offering patience

Until given the truth

.

I’m eclipsed by our love

Knowing its worth

We’ve painted a picture

But it’s contre-jour;

And now I hold every moment

Not wanting to let go,

As we have this last dance –

Tears building to flow

.

I’m so sure…
