A winter chill engulfs my heart <br />A mix of emotions from the start <br />Can I number all that's lost? <br />Lost as prisoners kept apart <br /> <br />Prisoners of each other <br />Yet, never knowing each other <br />Prisoners of what could have been <br />Whle trapped into what has been <br /> <br />Would our story be different <br />had we read between the signals sent? <br />Would we walk a simpler path <br />had the undertones been rent? <br /> <br />Our eyes speak what our hearts say <br />Silent words that never pass away <br />No undoing what's begun <br />No undoing yesterday <br /> <br />Turning toward the chill of winter <br />Hoping warmth would soon enter <br />Soon enter this bond of unscheduled love <br />Lasting far beyond the final dying ember<br /><br />Psaltydog's Thoughts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prisoners-of-each-other/
