you, always you

days and nights go by
circling each other warily;
time never ceases
tho i seem to stand still.
thoughts swirl and badger
of the distant past
berating me for the undones
and taunting me with the ne'er will be's.
constantly i wonder
if i will ever excise you from my life.
daydreams and nightdreams are one and the same:
you, always you,
there... unbidden, unwelcome and unhindered
cajoling me into believing
you never left me this alone.
will i ever comprehend
how hot can go so cold
in a space of time as small as that?
can peace be found
in some future moment
allowing comfort in another love
without the tell-tale walls
that are so desperatly built
for protection against a foreign invader?
wishfully i try to envision this
desiring above all else
to once again feel a heartbeat next to mine.
