i once loved you

i keep the warmth of you here
within this heavy hardened heart
the memory of who you are
etched into my cold glassy eyes
half hollowed with tears and remorse
looking at a picture of who you were
the only thing once beautiful
in my isolated and unwanted life

you were and are so perfect
in all that is in the details of you
the smile i seldom ever see
but brings me needed peace when do
the touch i never get to recieve
but become aroused at the very thought
the words that you could say to me
giving every beat of my heart meaning

~~~
i am not much of the man that i once was
not much of the man that you once knew
in remembering how much you meant to me
hope returns to me knowing that i once loved you
~~~
