seldom the same

It's seldom the same
 when two hearts come together.
One will give much more
 the other casually will take it.
And you can feel so lost
 and alone.
Your soul begins to hunger
 it wants so much to find a home.
In your pillow you cry
 trying to understand why.
But your heart is not your own
 it's at a loss, you know that it still loves her.
And when you close your eyes
 you're haunted by the moments that she gave to...
  only you.
She's turning the pages fast, skimming the lines
 looking for something more.
Then you turn to look at me
 I smile, but there's leaving in your eyes.
Tonight your holding me
 lovingly in your arms...kissing me...is it me?
In your tenderness
 entoxication overcomes my senses.
I lay my head upon your heart
 hoping to hear it beat for me...I already know.
With a sigh you say my name
 moving to meet my eyes...we both see tears.
I know you never planned
 the way that you don't feel...but I'm not made of steel.
Heart of mine will you survive
 building another life...alone?
She said she couldn't compromise
 her heart doesn't rule her mind.
She's off to look
 and hopefully find...another kind of love...
  not mine.
I'll try hard not to be so blind
 heart of mine
  the next time...
And it's a dangerous game
 when hearts
  are seldom the same.
