you sleep next to me every night, <br />yet you've never heard me weep.. <br />you lie with me in the warmth of my bed, <br />yet you've never felt the heat.. <br />of that silent, smouldering anger, <br />I nurse to numbness each eve... <br />we, partners of flesh, <br />have never partnered souls; <br />and I, have often lusted, <br />trecherously desired more. <br />O sworn accomplice! <br />in all, but what is real, <br />O my bethrothed! <br />in life and hereafter.. <br />I lie staring at your back, <br />each night, after you've slumbered; <br />and my frustrations sting my soul, <br />the tears flow, unencumbered. <br />Will you ever awaken to my presence? <br />I often silently wonder, <br />or will this be my penance <br />for trusting love, <br />to a stranger.....<br /><br />wardha jawdat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/known-stranger-2/
