Bored at work poetry :D

The Unrequited Past

my mind shifts on to other places
but the thoughts keep coming back
what if i have finally wasted
the best things i saved for last
holding on to those precious seconds
when i held you in my arms
losing sight of the train that wrecked us
tangled in your warmth
your misty eyes stared into mine
and at last i knew
this life would not be worth the time
i spent away from you
so i forged into the scars
you'd carved to keep me out
so quick forgetting those alarms
that checked my soul in doubt
just one touch was all it took
and i belonged to you
just one breath, one kiss, one look
my loneliness was through
and for awhile you felt my love
you let it fill your core
but then you turned your back on us
and like a fool i wanted more
i pushed my head into your chest
to feel your beating heart
but my wondering mind could not attest
and the shock drove us apart
for that night i found the truth
though i could not believe
the rhythmic pulse that coursed through you
had only ever been me!
had i imagined your whispered words?
had i entranced myself?
had i awakened but never stirred
and embraced your lifeless shell?
all those memories had vanished
like a shattered glass
i was feasting but still famished
on an unrequited past
and so with tears i lay to rest
a sorrow old as time
i fold your hands across your chest
and take back what was mine
for all the dreams my soul had dreamt
came as nightmares back to me
i realized with despair i'd spent
it all on what could never be.
