To Have
The day you left me,
it was like a mystery.
You never let me in.
Your heart I could never win.
\You did me wrong,
how can I be strong?
You took something out of me,
and I am trying to forget your touch...
\The time we spent remains in memory;
though it is tainted.
One day perhaps I'll find that key,
to unlock your steel door that is bolted...
\To feel you in my arms again,
Hoping that there will be no end.
Why can't you see,
That I still love you too much?
About this poem
That magic warmth of finding love and being smitten.
