Love cradled me long ago In a life once upon a time, I laid beside him; My ear, Tucked beneath his heart, Listening to staccato beat Love broke one day In the blink of an eye I grasped him; Tight to my bosom Legs wrapped about him As he drove home our last goodbye Love went away Seemingly to die I raised a marker; Where my heart once bled Now marble cold Without his warming light Love sits in limbo A place beyond space and time It floats in stasis; Waiting For cryogenic frost To melt beneath renewed heat Love stirs for you Even within layers of pain It yearns for release; My heart, Straining to meet and match Each beat for fervent beat
