i bid you not farewell

by chiquita3946 - Libra

I bid you not farewell, for in so doing
I'd crucify my heart, crushed by your palm.
"Exchange of heats" was never just exchange,
For never did I glimpse yours, and to have
The honor of possessing would be more
Than I could ever dream of one who's learned
To mask the feelings that he knows are Truth,
To write of love he's lost, then roll his eyes.

But any life with you is life enough,
Were I to lose your ears, your eyes, I know
I'd suffer so much more than with the loss
Of your soft touch alone, though I will not
Soon lose the memory of your breath on mine.

Reason for writing:

    same.
