10 years lost

[aerickson]

Interesting poem, but there seems to be some contradiction in the first lines. You don't feel the heart ache and yet you have 10 years of mourning that you can't forget. If I understand it, you're talking about having been through ten years of sorrow and wondering what you missed out during that time of numbness. Did I read that right?

10 years lost.
10 years of heartache
That I never felt.
10 years of desire,
That I never touched.
10 years of mourning,
that I can’t forget.
I will always wonder,
What was lost.
And so I sit here,
And look to you in fear,
What is Love?
Will I wake up in the morning
With my pride intact
Will the wind shift
And leave me cold.
Will this desire - what desire are you talking about here?
Fade with the sunset
As every night
And every day
Seasons my face. - I like this line - seasons my face - good image
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.
