The Many Nights

It speaks for itself

How lonely this life is to live

endless nights slept alone

Started in my childhood

and stayed with me while I grown

No soothing warmth beside me

a life absent the loving touch

The ache that has consumed me

from the thing I need so much

Shared caresses that ease the pain

senses that most other humans feel

Destiny had other notions

from me this she did so steal

I am not the man Fate could of made me

what you see and hear is just a shell

Teased by bits of touch and love

taken away from me too many times to tell

How I miss the touch of a womans lips

the way they gently caresses the cheek

To come home for that small reward

alas the simple man becomes so weak

I need the strength you would give me

your connection to my soul

To know that what I give you

completes us both and makes us whole

The depth of what I am

that which comes to you in every touch

A voiceless confirmation

that I love you oh so much

Sadly such feelings are memories

day by day a forgotten thing

Twas a distant day my friend

the day my soul did last so sing
