I Know

7/4/2010

You spoke sweet words to me

Whispered secrets you spilled into my heart

Playing songs with notes that only I knew

Or so I thought

You called me when the moon shone

Bright upon the winding road

The convoluted path you said we would traverse together

But today I awoke and found your bed empty

And a note upon the pillow where you once rest

A note that tore my heart from inside me

I would never love like that again

The green worship if a youth untested

I would never love you again

As I knew

You had never loved me.

We were two birds

Converged on a common road

And we came to journey a time together

Beat for beat, mile for mile

But on our path lay hidden snares

Set to rend us from the tranquility of bliss

And in these traps we lost our way

And in that way we lost one another

Our paths diverged from the one we'd shared

And too long had passed for us to be righted

So now I am alone

And I soar on through the miles

Stripped of my heart

And lighter for it

But I carry on

I know someday our paths will meet

And we may rest beside awhile 

And speak a time of our travels

But I will never love like I once did

I no longer feel the spark of youth

And I know I will never love again

As I know

You never loved me.
