woman
a warm hand holding mine
a gentle touch -- a paradox of your rough skin
a growing fear and passion
a kiss that went too far
a question left unanswered
a passion too intense
a darkness that wouldnt be missed
a regret for what was lost
a longing for a return to normalcy
a longing to remain different
a different... with you i wasn't.

and then it all comes back to me
you tell me to cry like you have cried
pain like you have pained
die like you have died
and i know we never loved each other at all
and i'm okay with that
but what was said was said
and we can't take that back.
my condolences, i know you were hurt.
my apologies, i know I am to blame.
my remorse that he and i are right.
...although that's a lie too.
so the cycle repeats.
another tear falls,
another tear waters the broken earth.
another kiss leaving me broken and longing
another passion that will make it nowhere
another remorse for a lying heart
and another apology for not being
the Woman i need to be.
