Sweet Whispers Poem

How I long to hear your voice once more, sweet whispers of delight
It seems like such a long time, since that horrid fateful night
I fear I’ve lost forever what I once held in my heart
Why after such a short time? Did we really have to part?

A thought of you comes to me, when I least expect
I start looking forward to Friday night, but then I recollect
A wave of despair floods over me, like a dreaded hammer blow
We’re not to share our moments again, until the waters do not flow.

In my desperate situation, I almost ring your phone
To tell you how much I love you, and ask “Can I please come home”?
Of course I couldn’t do that to you, put you on the dreaded spot
I’m too afraid that you’d just say no, then all hope would be lost.

How can I bring you back to me, would you ever want to come
Have I anything to offer you, I feel like I’m all thumbs
All I could give you in return would be my everlasting love
An olive branch of friendship and perhaps a small white dove.

Not much for a prize like you of course, I really feel so worthless
Pushed away without a second chance, like a broken tool that’s useless
My love for you burns brightly, it’s buried deep in my heart
Like Cupid’s pointed arrow, the memories all still sharp.

If you’ve never loved like I do, then you’ve never loved at all
I’d walk over hot coals barefoot, before I’d ever let you fall
My love for you is endless, it really holds no bounds
Delve deeply into your own heart, see what can be found.
