Touched, untouched

The feeling slowly fading

Of the imprint you left upon my skin

Once pervading, but now is no more…

 

What power led us to tragically abandon

The Love that walked through our door?

 

I know neither how, when nor why

Those old feelings were displaced

Chased by so disgraceful a Lust

They scarpered, leaving no trace…

 

Now it is as if

They were completely rubbed out;

Erased into oblivion

The unspeakable vacancy within

Shows what I am missing

 

And therein such beautiful irony exists:

Whilst seeking so deep and meaningful

A connection, there was no value, no substance

In your lips that I kissed

 

Only a dreadful reminder of that which

I could not face:

 

The discovery of a greater love

That could so easily have my one true

Sweetheart replaced.
