My Life In Word

 Between us lies a stillness
 Its implications deep
 I lie here contemplating 
 While he is fast asleep
 Here in the silence
 My thoughts drift away
 Wandering back
 To that not so distant day
 When to breathe was to love him
 And to love him was to breathe
 And we danced in the place
 Where love was conceived
 Passions fluttered in the air
 On wings of butterfly bliss
 My heart yearned for his love
 My lips lingered on his kiss
  
 With the rustle of sheets
 I snap back to reality
 I feel the crushing weight
 Of the chasm's gravity
 Pressed from all sides
 In silence I cry
 For love that once was
 Now withered and dry
 I lie here beside him
 Together — Alone
 In the place where love
 Turns to pillars of stone
 Between us lies a stillness
 Its implications deep
 I lie here contemplating 
 While he is fast asleep
