Poetry From Another Lifetime

Ok, so it's not really from another lifetime....but it was a different time in my life when I wrote this.

Holding Your Tears

That which comes from a fantasized embrace

Fire in my eyes and a tear down my face

With my eyes closed, only you in my sight

Still in my arms, not holding you tight

My eyes stay shut, waiting to find

All the while, indulging me blind

Someone comes to awaken...

Or could I be mistaken?

Opening my eyes, not to surrender my fantasy

I awake to a person with arms that surround me

Such time that has passed, my mind lacking flow

My eyes now aware that you aren't letting go

Your head over my shoulder, your heart begins crying

Rubbing your back to comfort, your years of love dying

Those years struggling just to keep my illusions

Now ready to release these confusions

Hush now, and have no fears

I have opened my hands to hold your tears
