True Love Misplaced
by Brian Cox
(Dallas, TX)
I woke up today wishing I hadn’t,
Wishing if only I could sleep for another two hours,
Then it would be two hours that I wouldn’t feel,
The hurt,
The pain deep in me,
The pain of losing three,
I wish for rain,
With every drop that hits me,
I feel your touch,
I feel your lips,
I feel your love,
I feel as if we are talking,
As if we are holding each other again,
But it doesn’t rain,
I don’t feel your touch,
I don’t feel your lips,
I don’t feel your love,
I feel alone,
Sad,
Sad because I lost you,
Sad because my heart says you will never return,
Sad because my heart can not let you go,
Sad because I am still in love with you,
Sad because my heart says never give up,
Even my heart is torn,
Torn between what it wants,
And what it is being given.
