My Love, My Darling

My love, my darling
All around me
For if I am a hill, my love is the
Smokey fog cascading over my body
My love, my darling
Holding me, like a single petal can hold dew
though I evaporate, my love will wait for morning
At dawn, I fall upon my lover’s lonely leaf
We talk about how perfectly precious
This moment is
My love and I are competing with time
It’s a sorry game to play
Because I know this feeling will blow away
It always does for me
I wish I could keep my love, my darling
In a locket around my kissed neck
So I can look back on an oil masterpiece
To see if the paint is still drying
Agonizing, but better than nothing
I couldn’t forget him, or her
But my empty heart can’t hold the past inside
It’s a dreary feeling, to succumb to the pain of losing another
“My love, my darling”
For that angel in skin
will soon become another story of mine
One that’s sorely missed.
