Never Say

Never say....

I miss you
and  it's true
I never loved you
Deeply

Or maybe
I never loved you
At all.

I needed
to fall in love
To wake up
with a kiss

Like
Sleeping beauty
Arouse me with your
Lips

Stolen
Some moments
When not one
Belongs to me.

How could I be
A thief?
Time wasn't mine
To keep.

When
you and I
Together
Becomes a fabulous lie
an epic myth.

What kind of a
Woman
would do this
Knowing full well
It wouldn't work...

The mystery
Becomes
A romantic shroud

We'll wrap up.
A stole around me
Twisted in the
Breeze.

The love is dead
It needs no hearse
Still born
Before it breathed
Air
Now up into a smoky sky
Smoldering sage 
An ancient star.

Yes we deliberately deceive
Subjects of our own deception
When the object of our delusion
Is the loveliest
We can conceive.

An act of true 
deception...
Cannot be love
you say?

I have lived it
And
Loved it.

But yes.
It cannot last.

Love light
Love bright
By the faint light of a
Winking star...
Laughing madly at us
Laughing,
Laughing
From afar.
