Alone

Ghostly

chimes ring in my ears

awakening me

bathed in

awash in

velvet rays of sunlight.

Faintly

a remembrance

words whispered

hot breath

warm hands

desire swelling

peaking

falling

dissipating

while I lay coiled in your arms.

Awareness 

slowly creeps in

tears crawl down my cheeks

for this is naught

but a dream.

Perchance

one day

a time come soon

I will once more be there

comforted

protected

loved again.

I wait…..

tremors to cease

heart to resume beating

time to move forward.

While I……

I remain in the past

caught

in the greatest love affair

of my life.

Tangled web

sticky strands

none let go

none shall stand.

Alone I am.

Alone I shall be.

Alone…….

forever 

eternally.
