[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Sorrow Becomes Me
 
I remember clearly
Long ago and far away
You kissed my cheek tenderly
Whispered words I can't say
 
You held me waiting
For my words to ring yours true
Caught just a breath away
Those words I'd surely rue
 
`Good night,' was my answer
To the love you'd expressed
Hurt you seemed
But I could expect nothing less
 
`Good night…' you said in sorrow
As you then turned to leave
Those words hammered in my ears
Demanding for release
 
I love you… I love you
More than life could know
I love you with all I could love you
But for fate, I could not show
 
I remember your soft sway
As you turned at your door
You smiled reverently then
And set my heart to soar
 
In that smile
Your love touched my soul
Silent promise
For my love untold
 
Years came slowly
In the warmth of your life
For every moment I cherished
Even times of strife
 
Though still caught by fear
Of what fate should do
If I so much as muttered
My dear, I love you…
 
I love you with all I could love you
And dare not utter a word
For fear the fates will hear me
And take you away for sure
 
`I love you,' you murmured
Soft words against my ear
Sleep then enfolded you
And I hugged you oh, so near
 
Each rise and fall against me
The beating of your heart
Love so amazing
But fate had its part
 
I watched you sleep beside me
The joy beyond mere words
Could fate really take you?
Could love be assured?
 
Soft rhythmic breathing
Fear overwhelmed by joy
I uttered it so silently
Fate heard not a noise
 
And surely as the days went by
And fate never stirred
Love, I thought, had made it through
Three little words…
 
I love you…
Dear God,
I love you…
And fate heard the lot
 
I love you with all I could love you
Those words… I never should
For fate readily heard me
And took you away for good
 
But even now, I remember
The smile that lit your eyes
Those words that I whispered
As I hugged you to my side
 
A smile so radiant
At my love spoken true
You were so elated
And thought you broke me through
 
But, dear one…
 
The moment I saw you
To this day today
I've loved you forever
Forever and always…
 
I love you with all I could love you
And should not have uttered a word
Fate so cruel and timeless
On those words are cursed
 
I find now I can whisper those words more freely
For I whisper those words alone
White rose in hand, I stare at your name
In the pillar made of stone…
