A Dance with Misery

A Dance with Misery

I'll never feel the gentle touch
Of your fingers on my face.
I'll never hold you in my arms
And give that caring embrace.

I'll never touch your silky skin
Or place a kiss upon your head.
I'll never sleep another night,
Without you in my bed.

I'll never be able to say I'm sorry
To the full extent it's due.
I'll never be able to forgive myself
For falling in love with you.

I'll never be able to look up
At the stars that are your eyes.
Just sit back, and calmly watch,
My painfully sweet demise.

I'll never feel the warmth of your light
Shining on my withered soul.
I'm no longer a complete self.
Only a piece of a shattered whole.
