I look at you with eyes of wisdom <br />your youth and beauty a sight to behold <br />the way you lay in my arms totally at peace <br />like a rose in the early morning sun <br />yet those years i feel <br />are slipping from my grasp <br />as the middle of my life greets me <br />yet we crave the same goals <br />stability and comittment slip from our lips <br />our hearts yearning for love <br />unconditionally until the last dawn <br />so why am i wary of giving you my love <br />i know you will return it and be so true <br />so hold me and tell me its right <br />for youll stay with me and love <br />for thats if you want <br />or set me free from this yearning <br />back into the deserts of uncertainty <br />once again in search of a true love <br />for i am hardened to it <br />its been such a long journey <br />alas i feel it will never end <br />you have the power to break the spell <br />and i will cast aside my insecurities <br />and disillusions <br />and find my rightfull place <br />alongside a true love<br /><br />christopher murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/torn-25/
