Everything But Your Heart

I remember when our roots were firm
And our foundation strong
Our bond was as a titanium cord
That held us firmly close
Leaving no room for even water to separate the divide
We were free to trust that
Even if there were moments of frivolity
Their would be no compromise of where was home.
There was freedom; there was trust, love and honor
But how things do change…
What surprises do bring as minds are affected
By outer influence.
A promise has no guarantee.
Then the divide and spurts of new beginnings
You were there and I here
Hours, days passed, and months turned into years
The crying game persisted and I could not hold back my tears
Once the love of my youth and now barely my friend
I have died a thousands times in the soul of my heart
And I no longer know you as I did before
And even when you afforded the time to
Construct an effort at a new beginning
After the wait and the anticipation of years in yearning
And even with the visible effort to connect once again
You bring everything but your heart
