I Want to Live and Die in Your Arms

I want to live and die
In your arms
But it’s a dream for me…

Because I’m not in your arms now
And it grieves me.

I want to share your life
And love
And your loneliness,

The side you hide
From other men,
Yet, I know exists.

I want to bury my face in your hair
Inhale
Snow on the wind,

But the longer we stay apart
I don’t know where to begin.

The moon grieves for lovers apart
Every night it peers in,

But I cannot explain my heart
Or the prison I’m in.

I want to bury my face in your hair
Inhale your mystery

But I fear we’ll die apart
With no history.

I want to live and die
In your arms
But it’s a dream for me…

Because I’m not in your arms now,

And it grieves me.

This is not a poem born at the time of loss; it comes later.
It is not the sharp pain of loss, but the endless ache of memories and pain at the emptiness of your future and at all the might-have-beens

Thanks John.

Beautiful poem @johnjgeddes. There is so much tactile references in this that I find myself smelling the hair and feeling the touches. You have really pulled me into this situation :)
Great work once again John :)
