Anteros, to an Eros-Afflicted Lover
Shadows splay across my face
where your fingers used to play,
Absence of the kiss
that would warm my lips,
In your grip as we stared into the abyss
Maybe there’s something to be said about this whole
‘Letting what you love fly free’,
Hold me close a while longer,
Tell me that you can be stronger
than I could ever be,
Because love never meant so much to me
Wind blown flakes, and your yearning aches
falling on my skin like snow,
Time, with no remorse and no easy course
speeds on by while I cling to what I know
There could be the slightest chance of this whole thing working out
exactly as it should be,
But for now, I’ll stay changed
with my heart rearranged,
Waiting for your lust to leave,
And be left with a love only for me
Stay, stay with me, please
in this silence,
Let it stick to our souls
Watch stars catch in the trees
and float on the breeze,
Feel the warmth down your spine,
Tell me we will be fine,
Tell me I’m still yours
and you’re still mine
‘Cause if there was the slightest chance that this whole thing could work out
where you could still love me,
My colors would be brighter
and my feelings would feel lighter
and my heart could beat without grief,
But you’ve flown, and left me to beliefs
