Leper

The sweet days
Of our emotions, sweet emotion.
Your eyes in mine,
My eyes in yours
Senseless touch, senseless feeling
Nerve endings.

The wires of our nerves
Both connected perfectly, and i
Would not be separated from you.
i only wanted you.

Pushing for you to
Reach me,
Your reach was far,
But not far enough.
I asked for too much, too soon.
Your love was a treasure i
Wanted to hoard,
But i tried to take
And not replace.
The thief was soon found out
And arrested for her crime.

Senseless desire, senseless need
A crashing, abrupt halt
To the galloping steed.
Senseless, unfeeling love
Will be given its wage
And will no longer
Perform on the stage.

The mask was too heavy to wear
On such a pretty face
That had no care.
No care, therefore, no love
For that pretty face.
Thief, understudy,
Her time is come.

Senseless touch, senseless feeling,
You will be known and understood
And not given another chance
To light the pile of branches on fire
And give such strong desire;
Such strong flame,
But ending in ash.
