I die a thousand deaths every day

I die a thousand deaths every day

 

 

To feel your lips pressed to mine,

that we never felt.

 

To feel your heart beat,

from afar.

 

Your touch I felt,

in your words.

 

How close we were to having true love,

how we felt true loves heartbeat.

 

Within our reach,

it was torn away before we ever knew each other.

 

In my crumbled heart,

I can still feel you there,

holding me,

touching my heart,

kissing my soul.

 

Chained to you love is my heart,

bonds that I placed willingly.

 

They say a knight is nothing without his spurs,

you are the spurs of my heart.

 

For how could I…a knight,

be true without your love.

 

Without you my armor will rust,

my shield splintered,

my sword dull,

my spurs lost in the rivers of forbidden love.

Such a lovely poem but very sad. It was really well written and I culd feel the emotion all the way to the end. I love the last part:
"Without you my armor will rust,
my shield splintered,
my sword dull,
my spurs lost in the rivers of forbidden love"
Lovely description.
