You Held my Heart, I Held Only Your Hand
She was the essence of the light,
A flame that was everlasting;
He was shrouded, covered in night,
A detail she found distracting;
They were different as black and white,
Yet her flame found his enchanting.
Her love broke the darkness apart,
His arms became her home, her place;
For her blind eyes, for him her heart,
He held her tight in his embrace;
For months he was her counterpart,
But three words can tend to betray.
You do not want me, you aren’t mine;
Amorphous, with no reason left,
To darkness you did me confine;
You took my air, left me bereft,
I thought we were two souls combined; Now this soulless flame does not shine.
