Each night
I watch you struggle
in your sleep.
And I sit in the darkness,
helpless.

Consumed with memories
of our love past.
Days we'd find anywhere
we could lay naked together.

Passion, pleasure, lust and love.
Before the sickness, this disease.
Our physical love ripped away.
A decade of sensual exploration
knowing every inch of
each others ecstasy.

Now gone forever.

In darkness, eyes closed
by heart my hands know
every spot to drive you crazy.
Areas now when brushed against
bring only pain.

Know my love
awake or asleep,
I long and dream in remembrance
Of that love.
Also know
I shall never leave or forsake you,
my soul.
