SonnetSong

I held you close as moonlight holds the sea

No chain, no cage, just presence vast and true

You were the hush between the breath and plea

A flame that didn't know what fire could do

I gave it all, the steadiness of stars

The gentlest hand to trace your shadowed grace

You dwelled within my soul's unspoken scars

And left your scented song in every place

'I'm here, you said, and I believed it whole

Not as a guest, but one who meant to stay

Yet now that silence wraps your absent soul

I grieve the vow your presence would not say

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You kissed me once, as if the world stood still

For me, your lips could fold the stars in two

But love, I learned, is not just heat or will

It's what remains when all that heat is through

You never saw the crown you placed on me

Too blinded by the fear of being known

But I still rose, though brought down to my knee

A man who gave and left to grieve alone

'I'm here, you said, and I believed it whole

Not as a guest, but one who meant to stay

Yet now that silence wraps your absent soul

I grieve the vow your presence would not say

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

What love is this that walks when it is brought

An edge was reached from which no man returns

A chance discarded, every heartstring fraught

I stood and left while still my poor heart yearns

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
