Raw and Real

When I write, emotions flow,  
Raw and real, where feelings grow,  
But with you, my muse, my love, my heart,  
The words won’t come, I don’t know where to start.

It's like trying to reinvent the wheel,  
Searching for the spark, the real feel,  
I want to tell of your beauty, your grace,  
But my pen stalls, stuck in place.

The past looms large, a shadow cast,  
Holding me down, memories vast,  
I yearn for the days, the laughter, the light,  
But they feel distant, lost in the night.

I need to feel genuine, see your smile,  
Not just a glance, stay for a while,  
Put down the phone, look into my eyes,  
Reconnect, let love arise.

I want the legends of our past to revive,  
In the present, where love can thrive,  
No more cages, no more chains,  
Just pure love, through joys and pains.
