When you’re alone <br />In the pale moonlight <br />And suffering <br />Just like me, <br />I wonder why <br />We can’t get together? <br />One time together? <br />I don’t mean <br />Storybook fantasies <br />Of forever, <br />Only one moment’s <br />Tender embrace, <br />A passionate kiss <br />Upon your weary face, <br />Two gentle souls <br />Lost in time <br />In the same sad place. <br /> <br />I know someone <br />Has hurt you <br />But it wasn’t me, <br />I’d kiss your open wounds <br />With dog-like compassion; <br />Please, let me <br />Sit in your living room <br />Beside you <br />And listen to the rain <br />On a summer evening; <br />Tomorrow, <br />I may never find you, <br />We may have to accept <br />Alienation and a thousand regrets, <br />But not here and not tonight.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dog-like-compassion/
