'Death' by Omission

She's Not You -
words of truth for sure.
I lie in her arms
stroke her soft hair
look longingly into her eyes
making all the motions
but they mean nothing
for she's not you.
I keep hoping
that one day I will forget you.
I figured the best way
was to sink myself
into someone new.
So far it hasn't worked.
Instead I miss you more
and more
each day
What can I say ?
I wonder if she knows
that my heart
is far away -
when we make love.
I wonder if she can hear
the thoughts rustling
thru my brain
as we caress
and kiss
Thoughts of you -
that I try to suppress
that come up
at the very moments
when I am holding her
fondling her
loving her -
Does she know my secret?
My body is hers
but my mind refuses to obey.
She's beautiful and wonderful
But she's not you -
and it's killing me.
