Coward

I am sorry
I can't think of you
I'm just afraid that if I do
my heart will become so empty
sending you all the love I have
there will be nothing left
to keep it beating
and on some days
as much as I wish it would... stop
I am the coward
So I hold some back
to give you
if we ever see each other again
but if we never do and the coward gone
Know I will leave
with you both
still there
in my heart
forever loving you
till the beat ... final

Love, how do I know you

Love, how did I know you ?
Did I see you in my youth...standing in the shadows
As I cried, and she left
Did I taste you in the pain?
How did I know....

Love, how did I feel you ?
In the eyes of my children as they looked into my face
As the world prostrated itself in front of them
you took a part of me never to give it back
That love I knew

love, How did I see you?
in the face of the man who faded forever
and took another piece
after giving , so much
love, I felt

love, where are you now?
in her eyes ..  through her touch, with her words
you  fill me up again and in return
I have So much
and am blessed
