10 years of heartache
That I never felt.
10 years of desire,
That I never touched. "desire" is an abstract idea. It can't be "touched".
10 years of mourning,
that I can’t forget.
I will always wonder,
What was lost. I thought it was "ten years".. You could lose these two redundant lines
And so I sit here,
And look to you in fear,
What is Love? cliché
Will I wake up in the morning
With my pride intact
Will the wind shift
And leave me cold.
Will this desire
Fade with the sunset
As every night
And every day
Seasons my face.
Will it rain today
When all is forgotten.
Will I have anything left,
When the tears fall,
One by one
Loss by loss.
Will I ever grasp
For another soul,
When mine is fooled
By another.
I look to you,
And wonder. I like these lines..you could pull it off setting them to music
Thanks for the feedback. I actually have written a few other "songs" before and have thought about writing music, so glad that I'm on the right track in that sense. In regards to the concept of the poem, its about losing ten years of life by not taking a chance on love and then finally having someone in your grasp and being both amazed at the idea of love and how much time has been lost while at the same time fearful of losing it.

Thanks for your thoughtful responses, I will take some into consideration.
